Tricky & The Cereal Killers

Описание: Proof of concept.
Set in 1990s London, the story follows a husband-and-wife animation team whose careers collapse overnight when new laws ban sugary ads targeting kids. Their mostbeloved creation, Tricky the Leprechaun, is left behind, along with their broken family. Decades later, their teenage granddaughter Charli finds Tricky’s old animation art in the attic. When she posts it on a popular short form video platform using AI tools, her viral meme accidentally opens a portal, unleashing the once-cute cereal mascots, now corrupted by AI, into the real world.
