Synopsis
WRECKOON is a chaotic action comedy built around a raccoon who turns out to be an unlikely hero. Its description gives no plot beyond that genre label, so the premise is carried by the film itself: a short, fast and silly story in which a raccoon fights its way through a violent confrontation.
Viewers describe a world that includes restaurant workers, a menacing boss with a pistol, a prison setting and a bionic raccoon, and they single out the ending and a closing line about forgetting to tip. The tone is slapstick and over the top, with a raccoon cast as the action lead.

About the Show
WRECKOON is a 7-minute-29-second AI short film, described by its maker as "a chaotic action comedy". It was posted to YouTube on 16 September 2026 by the PRODBYNEWMAN channel, and a reel announcing it appeared on the maker's Instagram on 14 September 2026.
It is written, directed and created by Guy Newman, who says the videos and the music were all made in AI. The makers have not named the individual generation models.
The film was made for the Higgsfield Global Film Festival 2026, a competition with a $1,000,000 prize pool whose rules ask for a film of at least three minutes built on Higgsfield's Cinema Studio, with AI-generated music, voice and sound design. Its submission deadline was 15 September 2026.
Newman also works as a Hebrew-language music producer and rapper under the name Newman, and has posted an AI short music video, FLORENTIN, on the same channel. On YouTube the film had about 39,000 views at the time of reading, and its comments are largely warm, with several asking for a series or a sequel.

Warm and amused: viewers call it funny, silly and well directed, ask for a sequel or series, and single out the ending. The one repeated complaint is a gun shot in which the whole cartridge flies out with the bullet.
