Made with seedance 2.5

Prompt 👇 
 Create a 28–30 second vertical 9:16 cinematic 3D animated short film with a stylized family-friendly cartoon aesthetic. The story follows a brave, expressive brown hen trying to protect her chicks from a dangerous hawk. Keep the same character designs, colors, proportions, facial features, and visual style throughout the entire video.

Scene 1 — Mountain cliff:
At golden hour, a brown hen with detailed layered feathers, a red comb, expressive eyes, and a large rounded body carefully walks along the edge of a high rocky mountain carrying a large beige cloth sack on her back. The sky is filled with soft pink and orange clouds, warm sunlight creates beautiful rim lighting around her feathers, and the camera slowly tracks beside her. She looks tired but determined.

Scene 2 — Climbing the cliff:
The hen struggles while climbing a steep rocky cliff using a thick twisted rope covered with small green leaves. She holds the rope tightly with her wings and feet while looking upward with a worried but determined expression. Use a dramatic vertical camera angle showing the huge height of the cliff and the clouds far below. Her feathers and the sack move naturally with her movement.

Scene 3 — Emotional close-up:
Cut to an extreme close-up of the hen's face. Her large golden-brown eyes, long eyelashes, beak, comb, and detailed feathers are clearly visible. She looks directly ahead with a serious, slightly exhausted expression. Use shallow depth of field and warm cinematic lighting.

Scene 4 — The nest:
Reveal a large nest made from branches on the mountain. Several tiny fluffy baby chicks are inside the nest, happily looking upward. The hen approaches them carrying the beige sack. Suddenly, a large aggressive hawk appears behind them with powerful wings spread wide. The hawk has sharp yellow eyes, a hooked beak, realistic feather details, and an intimidating expression.

Scene 5 — Hawk steals the food:
The hawk lands near the nest and grabs the large cloth sack with its powerful talons. The hen looks shocked and terrified. The hawk lifts the sack and pours golden grain/food into the nest while the baby chicks excitedly look at the falling food. The hen watches in disbelief, creating a funny unexpected moment rather than violence.

Scene 6 — Hen's reaction:
Cut to a dramatic close-up of the hen. Her eyes become wide with surprise and frustration, then her expression changes into an exaggerated angry cartoon expression. Her eyebrows lower, her beak opens as if she is shouting, and her wings move dramatically. Use a quick cinematic push-in toward her face.

Scene 7 — Hawk confrontation:
Show the hawk flying directly toward the hen with its enormous wings fully spread. The hen stands in front of her chicks, raising one wing defensively to protect them. Behind them is a rustic dark wooden barn/farm building with stacked hay bales. The sky has become slightly darker and more dramatic. Use dynamic camera movement and strong wind effects.

Scene 8 — Farmyard:
Transition to a peaceful rustic farmyard. The mother hen stands proudly beside several fluffy yellow chicks. A beige cloth sack sits on the straw-covered ground. Hay bales are stacked beside a large wooden barn. The chicks walk and play around the sack while the hen looks protective and alert.

Scene 9 — Hawk flies away:
The hawk suddenly grabs the cloth sack and flies upward, beating its wings powerfully. The hen looks upward in disbelief while the chicks continue moving around her feet. The hawk flies across the cloudy sky and disappears into the distance.

Final shot:
End with the hen standing sadly but protectively beside her little chicks in the warm farmyard. The chicks gather around her feet. Use a slow cinematic camera pull-back, soft sunset light, realistic feather movement,
