Strong rule: style --- 3D Pixar animation ---. A grainy, black and white flashback of a hospital room. A female carrot lies in a hospital bed, sweating and looking desperate, reaching out with one hand. A male carrot stands by the bed, holding a tiny baby carrot that has a prominent black mark on its face. Medical monitors and an IV stand are in the background. High-contrast cinematic lighting.
