Remember when we asked you to recreate your favourite critter in real life? If you participated, I hope you heeded our warning on that reward to not destroy whatever you made, because it'll give you a hand on this one.

For this reward, we want you to create a lovely stop-motion video inspired by Critter Café, using real-life props.

Here are the rules:

1. Your video must be set in the world of Critter Café, and must feature a depiction of at least one of its critters. Given that, it can be any kind of film you want - a cute story set in your café, the tale of how you rescued your critter from a portal, even an in-universe documentary!

2. Your video must be shot in real life, using real-life props and objects, such as the one you might've created for that aforementioned reward. Otherwise, action figures, cuddly toys, doll's houses, Lego sets and so on are all fine to use and may be helpful.

3. Your video must use stop-motion techniques (don't just film yourself moving a doll with your fingers). If you're not sure what a stop-motion video is or how to film one, there are plenty of guides online. It's a lot easier than you might think - give it a go!

4. Your video must be at least 45 seconds long to ensure it contains a story of substance, but longer is better, unless it's unnecessary. It must be submitted through connected social media.

This is a time-limited reward with a podium finish, which will only close and be judged on April 18. As with all our rewards, we reserve the right to reject submissions that don't hit the quality bar for our top prizes. Our thanks to Sturmer for suggesting this on our suggest-a-reward reward!
