TITLE: BAMBI — POPNATION
PROJECT
Create a colorful, cinematic, animated comedy music video about a curious little boy who discovers that his belly button can make an absurd cartoon popping sound. His private discovery becomes a dance, spreads through New York City, and eventually turns into a worldwide musical phenomenon.
The story must progress clearly: discovery at home, first pop, surprised reaction, sniff and disgust, repeated experimentation, dancing alone, leaving home with Grandma, strangers joining the dance, a street musical, a concert band, a world tour, and a final joke back at home.
Target duration: approximately 2 minutes 15 seconds, adjusted to the supplied song. Horizontal 16:9 composition. Maintain a consistent polished 3D cartoon appearance throughout. Prioritize expressive acting, readable physical comedy, musical timing, and character continuity.
CHARACTER REFERENCE — BAMBI
Use the uploaded Bambi image as the authoritative visual reference. Preserve his recognizable face, hair, proportions, clothing, and colors across every shot.
Bambi is a fictional Chinese boy, approximately five years old, with rounded toddler-like cartoon proportions. He has a large expressive head, full rosy cheeks, a soft round belly, short limbs, brown eyes, thick dark eyebrows, and thick black hair swept sideways with a small unruly tuft.
He wears:
• A bright golden-yellow, short-sleeved T-shirt with a rounded neckline.
• A shirt hem that ends above his navel, leaving his belly button visible.
• Opaque white diaper-style bottoms matching the reference.
• Teal sneakers with white soles.
His outfit remains the same throughout the story. His size is part of his design; the comedy comes from his curiosity, facial reactions, and unexpected celebrity.
His emotional progression is important: curious, puzzled, astonished, delighted, disgusted, mischievously proud, and finally overwhelmed with happiness as the world joins his dance.
His physical acting should feel childlik
