Living characters: your product's story, told by its own materials
Cute characters made of your product's materials, ingredients or everyday friends act out a short wordless story around your real product. Made from one product link, 6 credits a clip.
Made with CartViral
Real clips from the engine, made from one product link each.
Why it works
Talking food and living ingredients became one of the biggest short-video trends of 2026: one 21-second tonkatsu reel in this style has 1.4M likes and 347K shares. We turned the format into a story about your product.
People watch it twice
The last frame is the first one, so the clip loops without a seam. Replays are what the feed reads as a great video.
People send it to friends
A cheeky honey drop or a grumpy dust bunny is the kind of cute people forward. Shares bring viewers who do not follow you yet.
Your product is the hero
The characters are made of your product's materials and ingredients, the product itself stays exactly as in your photos, with no face.
7 scenarios
Pick one or let the AI choose the scenario your product's facts support best.
Made of
The materials wake up and build your product step by step: a wool cloud knits itself into a sweater, a sheet of leather and a spool of thread stitch a bag, a wax block and a wick become a candle.
Clothing, shoes, bags, jewelry, decor, furniture
Ingredients come alive
The ingredients your page lists become characters and dive into the product: a honey drop and a sparkling crystal jump into a face wash, coffee beans tumble into a pack, berries splash into a jar.
Beauty and skincare, food, drinks, supplements, pet food
Cook with it
A recipe made by happy ingredients, the way the viral cooking reels do it, while your product does the real work: the pan sizzles, the air fryer basket closes, the blender spins.
Kitchen tools and appliances, food products, sauces, spices
The rescue
The everyday problem is a cute troublemaker and your product calmly fixes it: water drops racing around a wet dog meet a drying bag, dust bunnies dancing on a sofa meet a lint roller.
Cleaning, gadgets, beauty tools, pets, car accessories
Its little friends
The things that live with your product become friends and it makes their life easy: lipstick, a toothbrush and a perfume hop into a travel bag the night before a trip.

The family
Every colour, flavour or scent is a sibling with its own personality: the bold red one, the calm sage one. Viewers pick theirs and send it to a friend.

Brand story
Your brand's start told as a tiny animated world: the first workshop, the first prototype that grew into the line. Only from the story you write in the product brief.

How it works
- Pick a product in the Studio and the Living characters card. Choose a scenario or let the AI pick the one your product's facts support best.
- The AI writes a wordless story of 4-5 shots and casts the characters from your product's own materials, ingredients or everyday friends.
- A cast sheet and a keyframe for every shot are drawn and checked against your product photos; a frame with a wrong product is redrawn.
- Every shot is animated from its keyframe to the next one, the last one back to the first: one smooth take that loops.
- You get a 15-24 s vertical clip with its own sound (drips, pops, zips, tiny squeaks), a hook on screen, a post caption and hashtags. Add a trending sound in TikTok or Reels when you post.
What we never do
- Only real facts: every material, ingredient, colour and feature comes from your product page or your brief
- Your product stays exactly as in the photos, with no face
- No fake results on skin, hair or body, no health claims
- Characters are happy, curious or comically grumpy, never hurt or scared
- The post caption says it is an AI animation

Questions
Which products does it fit?
Almost any product with a story in its materials, ingredients or everyday use. Beauty and food fit ingredients, fashion and decor fit materials, kitchen products fit recipes, gadgets and cleaning fit the rescue. The AI only picks a scenario your product's facts support.
Will my product look like a cartoon?
No. The characters are animated, your product is drawn exactly as in your photos: the same shape, colour, label and logo. Every keyframe and the finished clip are checked against your photos.
Is there a voice or text?
No voice: the story is told by the characters' faces and the materials' own sounds. A short hook appears in the first 2 seconds and a few steps can get a 1-3 word label.
Why no music?
Platforms give more reach to clips with a trending sound added in the app, and music you add there is licensed for that platform. The clip comes with its own sound, ready for a trending track on top.
How long and in which languages?
15-24 seconds, vertical 9:16, for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. The hook, labels and post caption are written in English, Spanish, German, French or Russian.
How much does it cost?
6 credits a clip, the same as a product story. A render that fails refunds its credits. The free trial gives 18 credits, no card.
