Use @Image 1 as the character design reference and follow the eight-panel storyboard in @Image 2. Create a playful clay stop-motion animation about Biscuit, a brave brown terrier in a white spacesuit carrying a giant yellow fork, exploring a cheese moon. Follow the storyboard in order: he lands and sniffs the surface, leaps in low gravity, opens a hole with his fork, tumbles into a tunnel and meets a giant gray mouse, bounces back out, catches a piece of cheese, then shares it with the mouse. Keep the character, spacesuit, fork, clay textures, and cheese-moon setting consistent. Use expressive reactions, smooth connected camera movement, and a warm final wide shot.
