Character serial, block 2

Each model is given the prompt its input contract calls for: a multi-reference model is told which reference is which character, a segmented model gets shot segments. The frame, the references and the requested length are identical throughout. This is the honest version of "the same prompt".

H3 Max, Wan 2.7, Veo 3.1, LTX-2

Modern 3D animated feature style for preschool: soft rounded forms, chunky simple silhouettes, large expressive eyes, smooth matte surfaces with subtle fuzz on fur, warm rim light and soft ambient occlusion, shallow depth of field, saturated but gentle colour, no harsh shadows, no photorealism. Cosy and glowing rather than dark. Vertical 9:16, character centred and large in frame, uncluttered background so the character always reads instantly. A single continuous 10-second scene. One location: a tiny warm bakery at night. A wooden counter, a glass dome over a cake stand, a round brass bell, shelves of jars, a big friendly oven with a glowing window, and one window onto a deep blue night with round stars. Everything is soft and rounded - no sharp knives, no fire, no mess. Characters are stylized animals that walk upright, wearing at most one simple accessory each. No humans, no text or signage, no crowds. The night outside is cosy, never frightening. 0s–5s: The baker sets a little stool down and pats it. The flyer, still upside down: 'That's very kind. But then I'd be the wrong way up.' The baker nods slowly and puts the stool away. 5s–10s: The baker hums and taps the counter twice with one claw. 'The jam is the problem.' The flyer, delighted: 'That is what I keep saying.' The baker's eyebrows go up. He turns and gets a bun. Hold every character's design exactly as shown. Do not drift toward photorealism. Avoid: photorealistic, live action, human, person, realistic fur, uncanny, creepy, scary, dark, gloomy, horror, gritty, harsh shadow, sharp knife, fire, flames, mess, spilled, sharp teeth, text, letters, signage, watermark, subtitles, caption, logo, cluttered background, crowd, extra characters, deformed, extra limbs, distorted face
