Soggy Flakes is a Canadian animated short comedy film, created by Heath, Jon, Nathan and Thomas Affolter and released in 2017.[1] The film centres on a group of washed-up former breakfast cereal mascots, who are forced to reevaluate their definition of success when they unexpectedly encounter their sellout former friend and colleague Captain Kale.[1] The voice cast includes Peter New, Cole Howard, April Cameron, David C. Jones, Stephanie Halber, Robert Heimbecker and Toren Atkinson.

The film was funded in part by a $10,000 prize from Telus's Storyhive contest for emerging filmmakers,[2] and was inspired by a news report suggesting that Kellogg's was considering expanding into dog food due to declining sales of its breakfast cereal lines.[2]

The film premiered at the Montreal Stop Motion Festival in 2017,[1] and was later screened at the Vancouver Short Film Festival in 2018,[3] but was distributed primarily through Storyhive's YouTube channel.[2]

The film received three Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 6th Canadian Screen Awards, for Best Web Program or Series, Fiction, Best Direction in a Web Program or Series (the Affolters) and Best Actor in a Web Program or Series (New).[4][3]
