How to Do It

- Write this simple instruction:
Prompt to use:
Convert this image into Pixar style with green screen background
Why Green Screen?
A green screen makes it very easy to remove or replace the background later while editing your video.

- Facial structure
- Outfit (even Indian outfits are captured perfectly)
- Overall likeness
Once done, download and save the cartoon image.
Step 2: Animate Your Cartoon Using Google Flow
Now comes the fun part — bringing your cartoon to life.
Open Google Flow

- Click on New Project
- Select Text to Video
- Choose Frames to Video (because we’re using an image)
Step 3: Upload Cartoon Image & Set Frame
- Click the plus (+) icon
- Upload the cartoon image you created
- If the image is landscape, change it to portrait
- Crop and save
Now your cartoon character is ready for animation.
Step 4: Add Dialogue, Expressions & Gestures
This is where your cartoon becomes truly alive.
Example English Dialogue Prompt
Make my cartoon character say:
“I am your cartoon twin and I love to make you smile.”
Add natural facial expressions and hand gestures while speaking.
What Happens?
- The character speaks naturally
- Expressions match the dialogue
- Hand and face gestures look realistic
Click Submit, and your animated video will be generated.
Step 5: Yes, It Works in Hindi Too! 🇮🇳
Many people think AI only works well in English — but that’s not true.
Example Hindi Dialogue Prompt
नमस्ते। मैं हूं रिया।
मैं डांस कर सकती हूं, बोल सकती हूं, आंख भी मार सकती हूं।
