This animated video features a small, simple character going on a shopping trip. The viewer is prompted to interact by placing their fingers on the screen to control the character's eyes, and then to decide what items the character 'wants' in its shopping cart. The video ends with the character having no money to pay, asking the viewer to pay, and then accepting a 'face card' payment.

The 'you pay?' question directly engages the audience, fostering comments and shares.
