Prompt ready for Image (editable there)

Keep both animals' faces, ears, coats and markings from the references: the pet from the first reference stands on the LEFT and the pet from the second reference on the RIGHT. Both stand upright on their hind legs on a made bed with a grey duvet, each in a small plain black hoodie, whole bodies in view with room above their ears, a warm lamp and a white wall behind. Vertical 9:16 phone photo. No text, no logos, no real celebrities.

Pet rock dance clips on Ghibliia

A border collie headbanging in a hoodie and a cat and a pug doing it together on a bed, cut from original 10-second clips.

Every pet here is an original made with AI, not a customer's animal. Living-room rocker starts from one photo of a border collie sitting on a wooden floor; Bed duo starts from two, an orange cat on a sofa and a pug on a rug. Behind each is a vertical 10-second clip made for this trend with Seedance 2.0 Fast on November 9, 2026 at aiaigenerator.ai.

We kept about 9 seconds of each, reframed it, regraded the colour, nudged the speed and put the ghibliia.com mark in the top left. Nothing was mirrored. The music is the clip's own original rock track, not the trend's song. Collie standing is an image only: the same collie moved into a living room with image-to-image AI, which you can also do on Image. These samples cost this page no credits. Use this scene →

Living-room rocker

A black-and-white border collie in a black hoodie stands on its hind legs in a bright white room, throws its head back, shoots one paw up, shakes its head and comes up to the camera with a huge grin.

Bed duo

An orange tabby on the left and a pug on the right, both in black hoodies, standing on a grey duvet: they look up at the ceiling, the cat lifts a paw, they shake their heads together and finish with paws up.

One photo to a pet rock dance clip

Upload a full-body pet photo, pick a scene, press Create video; you get a vertical MP4 of about 10 seconds.

  1. 1

    The photo

    Whole body, or at least head and chest, sharp and in daylight. Face, ears, coat colours and markings come from your photo; the black hoodie and the room come from the scene.

    • One animal in the frame
    • Eyes open, the whole head visible
    • No blurry or night shots
  2. 2

    The scene

    Above the photo box, Living-room rocker puts your pet upright in a black hoodie in a bright room. Bed duo is for two pets and takes two steps: in Image you combine one photo of each (the first lands on the left, the second on the right), then you animate that picture in Video.

Pet rock dance moves in order

Two headbangs, a paw up, a head shake, a hop and a grin.

The trend fits in about 10 seconds: upright with the head thrown back and front paws out, two hard headbangs, one paw high, another headbang, a fast side-to-side shake, a hop at the camera and the closing grin. This is how the roughly 9-second Living-room rocker sample plays:

01

Headbangs

0–1.5 s: upright on its hind legs with the front paws out, the collie throws its head back and tips it side to side, ears loose. 2.5–4 s: both paws up, it shakes its head from side to side, and by second 4 its mouth is open. In Bed duo both pets look up at the ceiling at the start and shake their heads together between seconds 6 and 8.

02

The paw and the hop

1.5–2.5 s: one front paw goes up high while it looks at the ceiling. 5–6.5 s: it comes toward the camera with its paws up. 7–9 s: close-up, big grin, tongue out, one paw raised. In Bed duo the cat raises a paw around second 4 and both end with their paws up.

The right photo for the pet rock dance

One pet, whole body, eyes open, room above the ears.

Yes

  • One animal, whole body or at least head and chest
  • Eyes open, face in focus
  • Daylight, by a window or outdoors
  • Space above the ears so the head stays in frame while it shakes

Skip

Upload my photo →

  • Two animals in one photo: use Bed duo with one photo each
  • Night, blurry or filtered shots
  • A pet half hidden under a blanket or cushion
  • Crops so tight the ears are cut off

Posting your pet rock dance

Check the coat, then add music if you want another track.

The coat

Watch the whole clip: coat colour, markings and ears should still be your pet's during the headbangs and in the close-up. Look at the paws too; if one turns into a hand or an extra paw shows up, run it again with a sharper full-body photo.

The music

The clip comes with an original rock track, not the trend's song. For the "rockin rockin" sound, add it in TikTok when you post; for a track of your own, make one in Music. Use the names people search: pet rock dance, pet metal era, headbanging pet trend. More ideas in all video effects.

Pet rock dance questions

What is the pet rock dance?

A TikTok trend, also called Pet Metal Era: a pet in a black hoodie gets up on its hind legs, headbangs to loud rock and hops to the camera with a grin.

Where did it start?

With an AI-made clip a Japanese TikTok account posted on November 1, 2026: a grey poodle in a black hoodie, headbanging. On November 4 a US tutorial with four pets gave it the #petrockdancetrend tag. Details via makeviral.ai.

Which photo works?

One animal, full body, eyes open, good light.

Can my cat do it?

Yes. Any pet can take the spot, and ears and fur fly on every headbang, like the orange cat in Bed duo.

Can two pets dance together?

Yes. Upload one photo per pet; the first ends up on the left and the second on the right. Pick Bed duo and follow the two steps.
