I believe this is one of the first narrative stories with a beginning, middle and end. It tells the story of Roary, the mascot for the Detroit Lions starting with an injury when he was a star athlete at a Detroit High School and was injured leading eventually to him trying out for the Detroit Lions and finding his true purpose in life. It is a heart warming comedic story of overcoming obstacles and setbacks that lead to greater successes. Dreams do come true. The head of media for the Detroit Lions loved the story but couldn't use it because AI was not capable of creating consistent Lions uniforms at the time. Over 4 minutes long
