Dance With Cartoon Self: price, photos, free options and FAQ
By MimicZip Team · Updated:
Short answer
Nothing renews, so there is no plan to cancel. A pack is bought once and its credits wait in your account. Spending one credit gets a 8-second 720p Dance With Cartoon Self clip, clean of any watermark. Pick 1 at $8.99, 3 at $16.99 or 5 at $25.99; every pack comes with watch-only previews.
What a credit buys
Each credit builds the whole clip from your single photo: the cartoon twin, the hello and the shared dance, 8 seconds from first frame to last. Switching styles, places or light changes nothing about the cost. Across the three packs that comes to about $8.99, $5.66 or $5.20 a clip.
When you want another go
A drawn twin that must move like you can confuse a model. If the twin’s pose drifts, swap in a sharper whole-body photo and put the two clips side by side. The credit always covers the entire scene, from the first hello to the last step. A pack of 3 or 5 gives you spare tries, and anything left over works on every template at MimicZip.
In the pack, and what happens if it fails
- Watch-only previews: 1 come with the $8.99 pack, 3 with $16.99 and 5 with $25.99. Nothing to download, and no free tier behind them.
- A generation that fails puts its credit back on your balance by itself.
- A pack nobody has opened can be returned within 7 days (refund policy); a credit that has already made a clip stays spent.
- No renewals, now or in the future.
Is there a free Dance With Cartoon Self video generator?
No. MimicZip has no free Dance With Cartoon Self version and no free preview. A finished 8-second 720p clip costs 1 credit and packs start at $8.99; it covers a person beside a line-art cartoon twin, a greeting and the same dance. Every pack includes watch-only previews, and there is no subscription.
The original trend on TikTok, and what is free there
The trend is a TikTok by @goodboy9919 from 3 November 2026, with about 1.3 million views: a person dances beside a white line-art cartoon version of themselves. It ends with a short editing tutorial. You can watch it for nothing on TikTok.
What we sell is a version made from your own photo. Our clip is 8 seconds, the first 9 seconds, and the cartoon twin, the place and the light are made for you.
What a Dance With Cartoon Self run takes
- Photos: one sharp photo of an adult or a pet, whole body. No children.
- Free choices: six styles (White line art by default), five places (Sunny rooftop by default) and five kinds of light (Sunny afternoon by default).
- Cost: 1 credit for the 8-second 720p clip, without a watermark. $8.99 buys 1 video, $16.99 buys 3 and $25.99 buys 5.
- Previews: 1 in the $8.99 pack, 3 in the $16.99 pack and 5 in the $25.99 pack. A preview is the same 5-second scene at 480p, with a PREVIEW badge, and cannot be downloaded.
Why this is a paid tool
Everything around you is generated (the cartoon twin, the place and the light), and each render uses a paid AI video model, so there is no free version. MimicZip is independent and not made, endorsed or licensed by @goodboy9919.
What photo works for a Dance With Cartoon Self video?
Upload one clear photo of an adult or a pet looking at the camera in good light, whole body. The twin is drawn from the same photo, so a clean outline and a visible outfit help. Files must be JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB, with each side between 300 and 6000 pixels.
File rules
- JPG, PNG or WebP, up to 10 MB.
- Each side between 300 and 6000 pixels.
- Width-to-height ratio between 0.4 and 2.5.
What makes a good photo
- One subject, alone in the photo, looking at the camera.
- Whole body, standing: the twin copies the full outfit.
- A clear face, so the model can keep it on both of you.
- Good light and a plain background; the model copies your colours.
Who you may upload
The dancer must be an adult who agreed to appear, or else your pet; children and celebrities are blocked. See the photo consent rules and the acceptable use policy.
Can I change the style, the place and the light in a Dance With Cartoon Self video?

Questions people ask
Do credits expire?
No. Credits sit in your account until you decide to use them.
Will I be charged again automatically?
No. Each pack is a one-time payment, and nothing is charged again.
Can I get a refund?
Only a pack you have left untouched, inside 7 days. A credit that has turned into a clip cannot be returned.
What does a failed video cost?
Nothing is lost: a failed generation gives the credit back on its own.
Do I need a credit card for a free preview?
No. You can look at the options (the style, the place and the light) with one photo of an adult or a pet before paying; you pay once, at checkout, when you choose a pack.
Can I watch the original for free?
Yes. The original post by @goodboy9919 plays on TikTok, and this page links to it. We only make your own version from your photo.
Is the preview the whole clip?
Close. A preview shows the same 5-second scene at 480p instead of 720p, so you can check your photo first. It carries a badge and cannot be downloaded.
Can I use a photo of the person in the original post?
No. Photos of celebrities or famous characters are blocked, and so is anyone who looks like a child. Use yourself, an adult friend who agreed, or your pet.
Does the photo need a plain background?
No. The place and the light are generated, so any background works.
How long is my photo kept?
It is stored privately and deleted automatically 14 days after upload.
Do the options cost more?
No. The price is the same for every option.
Are the options tested?
The defaults are the ones the scene was written around; the others are marked New in the generator and have not been run on their own yet.
Can I type my own option?
No. This template has presets only, with no free-text prompt.
