Three choices and one tap. The shot list, the timing and the prompt are already built.
Any Pet Takes the Stage is the template for every animal that is not a dog: cats, rabbits, hamsters, pigs, parrots. The trend's most absurd posts gave the golden ball to a pig in swimming goggles, and that is the spirit here. Your pet keeps its own face, colours and quirks, wears a tuxedo, climbs the steps and hugs a trophy almost as big as itself.
Tips for the any pet takes the stage
Small animals look best in a close photo where the face fills most of the frame.
Accessories in the photo (goggles, hats, bows) are usually kept, which is half the joke.
For a cat, a photo with both eyes open and looking at the camera keeps the expression right.
What is already set for you
The subject: the animal from your photo, standing upright like a person, wearing a small tailored black tuxedo, white shirt and black tie, receiving a plain golden football trophy on a dark rock-like base and hugging it.
The scene: a grand old theatre at night, gilded balconies, red velvet seats, an audience in black tie, a lit staircase up to a dark stage with gold light panels and gold sparks at the end.
The timing: Every template stands you up in the first 2.5 seconds, plays the kiss and the walk-up, and ends on the golden close-up in the last 3.

What does the any pet takes the stage look like?
On AI Ballon d’Or, the any pet takes the stage is the animal from your photo, standing upright like a person, wearing a small tailored black tuxedo, white shirt and black tie, receiving a plain golden football trophy on a dark rock-like base and hugging it. It is a generic design with no brand marks.
Can my cat win the Ballon d’Or in an AI video?
Yes. The Any Pet Takes the Stage template on AI Ballon d’Or turns one photo of a cat, or any other pet, into the 10-second Ballon d’Or walk-up: tuxedo, lit stairs, golden ball and gold sparks. The animal keeps its face, colours and markings. It costs the same as a person video, from 10 credits.
