Prompt

Stylized 3D animated short, bright colors, soft cinematic lighting, playful and heartwarming tone (~15s). Consistent characters: BOLT, sleek silver robot with glowing blue LED eyes, antenna, chest display; JAX, scruffy 10-year-old boy, messy dark hair, green hoodie.
Scene flow:
Living room, warm afternoon. JAX eats cereal watching TV while BOLT scans and says it’s “42% soggy.” JAX rolls eyes. A puppy scene makes JAX tear up; BOLT scans and asks if he needs repair. JAX laughs: “That’s crying.”
BOLT’s chest shows “Emotion Module Installing.” Eyes flicker. He attempts a smile—awkward and scary. JAX reacts. JAX gives him a puppy plush; BOLT’s chest lights up with a heart.
Close-up: BOLT’s eyes turn warm amber, a metallic tear forms. “I am leaking.” JAX hugs him.
Final wide shot: both watching TV together, BOLT holding plush, heart glowing. “Can we watch it again?” Warm sunset fade.
Audio: light orchestral, robotic hums, soft piano.
 Style: smooth animation, expressive lighting, cinematic, emotional-comedy.
