What went in

the establishing frame

the frame, plus 6 reference images

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–4s: The brass bell goes ding. The baker looks up slowly from the counter and says, warmly: 'Welcome in. Come in.' A small voice from the doorway: 'It's me!' 4s–10s: The flyer swoops in and hangs upside down from the lamp, wrapping his wings around himself. 'A bun please! Last time the jam went up my nose.' The baker: 'Yes, of course.' 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
