The Sock Monster In The Laundry Room

Pixar-style 3D animated comedy, bright cozy laundry room with a white front-loading washing machine that has just finished a wash, warm soft daylight. Inside the drum lies freshly washed wet laundry: a towel, t-shirts and socks. Image1 is the Sock Monster: a small mischievous monster made entirely of old socks, sock-toe horns, a long striped sock tail, mismatched eyes, a wide mouth with small sharp crooked teeth. Funny, sneaky, not scary. It lives inside the washing machine drum.

0-2s: the room is empty. The Sock Monster pushes the round door open from the inside and pops its head out with a long red-and-white striped sock hanging from its mouth, slurping it in like spaghetti. 2-5s: it freezes mid-slurp and stares straight into the camera: caught red-handed. Then it slurps the rest of the sock in. 5-8s: footsteps approach. It dives back into the drum and hides under the wet towel, one eye peeking out. A human hand reaches in for the laundry. 8-11s: the hand pulls out a single striped sock without its pair and holds it up in front of the camera. 11-14s: the hand leaves. The Sock Monster pats its full belly, burps out a soap bubble and gives a sneaky grin to the camera.

Audio: door click, a long wet slurp, a tiny gulp, footsteps, a small burp with a bubble pop, playful mischievous cartoon music.
