The story should be based on this idea: [IDEA HERE]. Rules: Create 3–10 scenes (AI chooses the right number). Each scene must have: A short description of what happens. Narration script (max 7–10 seconds of spoken text). Keep it simple: one hero, one villain, and a straightforward story arc. Make it fun, light, and easy to follow, like a children’s cartoon. Make sure the narration fits naturally with the scene description. Give me the story back in the following format: Scene: number of the scene Description: What happens in this scene Narration: What the narrator should say in this scene. ============================== AI CARTOON PROMPT 2 — DESCRIBE CHARACTERS Help me create consistent AI characters for my AI cartoon animation story using OpenArt’s AI character generator. The tool asks me for descriptions to create these AI characters. Give simple yet accurate and suitable descriptions of my characters based on this story that I created: [YOUR SCRIPT HERE]. ============================== AI CARTOON PROMPT 3 — CREATE SCENE PROMPTS Generate prompts for all the scenes in this script: [YOUR SCRIPT HERE]. Output two parts: 1. Image Prompt: Describe what is happening in the scene in one detailed sentence. Use names @[name of character1], @[name of character2] instead of describing them. Focus only on environment, action, and composition. For example: “@Zib is holding a plant seed @Gritch hides behind a mountain.” 2. Video Prompt: Describe how this scene should move when turned into a short animation. Never use the @character format here. Instead, refer to them as their type (e.g., “Cute green alien,” “Red dusty storm-character”). Do not describe the characters’ looks (this is because the reference image already handles that). Instead, only describe the action, movement, or camera motion. For example: “The camera slowly zooms in as the green, cute alien holds the seed and the red storm grows in size in the background.” Return the output in the following format: Image Prompt: [your prompt here] Video Prompt: [your prompt here] ============================== AI CARTOON PROMPT 4 — BUILD NARRATION VOICE Given the story [PASTE STORY HERE], create a narrator voice prompt for ElevenLabs: Describe the ideal voice’s age range, gender (or gender-neutral), tone, vocal texture, pacing, emotional feel, and storytelling style in 4–6 sentences. Do not summarize the story — just reflect its mood and audience for me to create a perfectly-matching voice for that. Output only the final ElevenLabs voice prompt with no extra text. ==============================
