Prompt

A 15-second 2D animated short in a hand-drawn cartoon style, starring FRIC — a chunky lime-green frog with a thick wobbly black outline, simple dot eyes, and a flat mouth. Squash-and-stretch animation, bouncy timing, pond setting with soft watercolor background. 0-1.5s: WIDE shot. Fric sits peacefully on a green lily pad floating in calm blue water. Gentle bob. Eyes closed. Soft ambient pond light. 1.5-3s: CLOSE-UP on Fric's face. One eye snaps open with a cartoon "ping". Pupil darts left. 3-4.5s: A small black cartoon fly zigzags lazily across the frame, buzzing sound implied through motion. 4.5-6s: MEDIUM shot. Fric's head tilts and rotates comically tracking the fly, body stays still. 6-7.5s: EXTREME CLOSE-UP on Fric's mouth. Tongue twitches in anticipation, tiny wiggle. 7.5-9s: WIDE shot. Fric's tongue SHOOTS OUT in a long pink rubbery streak — fly dodges at the last second. Tongue snaps back. Fric blinks, embarrassed. 9-10.5s: The fly lands cheekily on top of Fric's head. Fric's eyes go cross-eyed looking straight up. 10.5-12s: WIDE shot. Fric crouches LOW, body squashing down, eyes narrowing with determination. Tiny anticipation shake. 12-13.5s: Fric LAUNCHES — tongue rockets upward in an exaggerated arc, body stretches tall, catches the fly mid-air with a satisfying SNAP. 13.5-15s: CLOSE-UP. Fric chews twice, gives a tiny satisfied smile, blinks once. Hold. Fade to black. Style: 2D cartoon animation, scribbly hand-drawn outlines, flat colors, exaggerated squash and stretch, bouncy rubber-hose physics on the tongue, comedic timing with clear anticipation and reaction beats. Soft pond ambience, no dialogue.
