Status: ACTIVE / 3-HOUR DELIVERY SPRINT Start: 2026-08-29 Europe/Kyiv Target: ~30-minute original family-safe motion-cartoon / animatic in 16:9, plus YouTube-ready publishing package. Truth boundary: motion-cartoon/animatic != full-frame studio animation; YouTube-ready != YouTube-published.
Title: «Люма и Город Света: День, когда пропали улыбки» Original IP only. No licensed or copied characters, music, logos or dialogue. Audience: family / children 6–12 with parents. Tone: optimistic, funny, warm, adventurous, non-violent. Core idea: a city-wide mood-light system stops reflecting positive emotions. The children discover that the system cannot manufacture joy; people need to reconnect, help one another, create, play and listen. The city recovers through cooperation rather than defeating an enemy.
LUMA — 11, inventive, empathetic, warm brown skin, expressive hazel eyes, dark curly bob, turquoise hair clip, yellow utility jacket, teal overalls, white sneakers. Strength: creative problem solving. Flaw: tries to fix feelings like machines. AERO — 12, thoughtful, observant, light olive skin, short chestnut hair, green hoodie, blue vest, gray trousers, orange sneakers. Strength: notices people and patterns. Flaw: hesitates before speaking. BOLT — small friendly round white-and-teal helper robot, two cyan eyes, no weapons. Strength: logic and comic timing. Learns that not every human problem is an optimization problem. CITY OF LIGHT — peaceful eco-city, rounded architecture, gardens, solar trees, clean tram lines, public workshops, rooftop farms and light sculptures.
00:00–02:00 — Cold open: City of Light wakes in color; Luma, Aero and Bolt prepare for the annual Smile Festival. 02:00–04:30 — Inciting event: every public light sculpture turns pale. The Mood Beacon reports: «JOY SIGNAL NOT FOUND». 04:30–07:00 — Luma assumes a technical fault; trio visits the Beacon workshop and finds hardware healthy. 07:00–09:30 — They interview citizens. Baker, gardener, tram driver and children are all busy, rushed and disconnected. 09:30–12:00 — First attempt: Bolt launches an efficiency plan with scheduled jokes and automated compliments. It feels artificial and fails. 12:00–14:30 — Aero notices one small genuine moment: two strangers help repair a fallen community kite; nearby lights briefly return. 14:30–17:00 — New hypothesis: the Beacon reflects connection rather than creating it. Trio tests tiny acts of cooperation. 17:00–19:30 — Montage: shared painting wall, garden repair, music made from recycled objects, neighborhood picnic preparation. 19:30–22:00 — Setback: a sudden rain shower cancels the outdoor festival. Luma believes they failed again. 22:00–24:30 — Aero reframes the problem: the festival was never the source. Everyone moves the celebration into tram stations, workshops and covered gardens. 24:30–27:00 — Climactic cooperation: citizens build a city-wide chain of small celebrations. Bolt stops optimizing and simply participates. 27:00–29:00 — The Mood Beacon shines again, but now citizens understand it is only a mirror. 29:00–30:00 — Resolution/tag: Luma labels a new notebook «Things you cannot repair with a screwdriver». Bolt adds: «Appendix A: feelings». Laughter; sunrise-night city glow; end card.
