Two pets. One big scream.
One pet screams into the lens with its paws on its head, then the other takes over, then they dance side by side by a red fence. Add a photo of each of your two pets, and they do the whole Smalltown Boy trend, with the song.

Your first pet, right up against the lens, paws on its head, mouth wide open.
It reaches out and pats the camera while the other one dances behind.
Hard cut: now your second pet is up front, screaming.
The two of them sway together by the red fence, paws up.
Both pets rush the lens together, paws first, to the last frame.
Each pet gets its own close-up, so each photo needs one clear face.

Two pets stand up on their back legs by a dark-red fence. The first one is right up against a wide phone lens, paws on its head, screaming, then it pats the lens while the other dances behind. Hard cut: they have swapped, and now the second one screams. Then the two of them sway side by side, and in the last seconds they rush the camera together, paws first.
It started on TikTok with an AI video of two cats screaming and dancing by a red fence to Smalltown Boy, the 1984 synth-pop song by Bronski Beat. Pet owners started making it with their own cats and dogs, by the fence or in the living room.
It’s the dramatic scream your pet would do if it could. If you have two pets, it’s the one trend made for both of them, and the swap makes it a little show about who’s the bigger drama queen.

Two pets take turns screaming into the camera with their paws on their heads, then dance side by side and rush the lens, to Smalltown Boy. The AI version puts your own two pets in it, by a dark-red fence.
Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat, from 1984. The trend’s cut of the song plays over your whole video.
Yes. It’s a duo trend, so add one photo of each pet. Each photo should show one pet.
The pet in the first photo screams first; the one in the second photo takes over after the swap. At the end they dance side by side.
Yes: two cats, two dogs, or one of each. Each pet keeps its own face, coat and markings. Cats work best so far; dogs with long, floppy ears can come out a little different.
A sharp daylight photo of each pet, face toward the camera, with its whole body in view if you can. Skip blurry, far-away and dark photos.
Not yet. For now it’s made for two pets.
Yes. It’s 15 seconds, vertical 9:16 like the original, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.
