What is the Smalltown Boy AI trend?
Smalltown Boy AI stars two of your pets in the screaming duet that took over pet TikTok. Both stand up on their back legs before a tall dark-red fence. The first pet clutches its head with both paws and screams right into a wide phone lens, pats the screen, then stares, while the second dances by the fence behind it.
Then they swap. Pet two takes the lens and screams, rocking slowly, while pet one dances in the background. The camera cuts wide and the pair sway side by side, waving their paws on the beat, before both rush the lens together and swipe at it to the last frame. Both pets keep their own faces, coats and markings, so cats, dogs or one of each all work, and they never swap looks.
The clip is 15 seconds and vertical, with hard cuts like the original. It comes without music, so pick the Smalltown Boy trend sound in the TikTok or Reels editor. It’s made for two pets: the dramatic one and the one who’s just there for the dancing. The pet in the first photo you upload screams first.

Where Smalltown Boy AI started
The trend uses Bronski Beat’s 1984 song “Smalltown Boy”. In May 2024 it soundtracked TikTok’s 80s dance challenge, in which people asked their parents to show how they danced in the 80s. The AI versions put pets in place of the dancers.
Since May 2024

Smalltown Boy AI questions
The short answers. Ask a person or visit the help center.
Do I need two pets?
Yes. This one takes two photos, one pet in each. They can be your own pets or a friend’s, with their OK.
Which pet screams first?
The pet in the first photo you upload screams first. The second pet gets its turn after the cut.
Will my pets wear anything?
No. They appear as they are, with no collar, bell or clothes, so their coats and markings show clearly.
Is Smalltown Boy AI free?
Not free, but you can try Reelfie first: every new account gets one photo trend free, no card needed. Smalltown Boy AI itself starts at $9.90 for a credit pack, with no watermark once you buy, and a run that fails costs nothing.
How much does Smalltown Boy AI cost?
150 credits in HD (720p), 75 in standard (480p). A pack from $9.90 makes 1 in HD or 2 in standard, and a plan from $16.58/mo, billed yearly, makes 3 in HD a month. The Make button shows the total before it runs, and a run that fails gives the credits back.
What app makes the Smalltown Boy AI video?
Reelfie (reelfie.app) makes it from one photo, with no prompt to write: the trend’s look is built in. It costs 150 credits, shown before it runs, and a run that fails costs nothing.
Is Reelfie the official Smalltown Boy AI app?
No. Smalltown Boy AI is a trend, and no app owns it. Reelfie (reelfie.app) is independent, not affiliated with TikTok, CapCut or the trend’s creators; it makes your own version from your photo.
Can I make Smalltown Boy AI with ChatGPT, Gemini or CapCut?
Partly. ChatGPT and Gemini can write a prompt, and AI video tools, CapCut’s included, can turn a photo into a clip from it, usually after a few tries and with a watermark on free tiers. They don’t know this trend’s scene or timing. Here both are built in, so one photo is all it takes.
How long does it take?
Most videos are ready in 3 to 5 minutes. You can close the page; the video keeps going and waits for you in Assets.
Can I make it with my cat or dog?
Yes. Choose Your pet and upload a photo where your pet’s face is clear and facing the camera.
Why does the face not look like me?
Usually the photo: side angle, low light or something covering the face. Try a clear front photo. If one doesn’t come out, you are not charged.
Can I post it on TikTok?
Yes. The video is vertical with the trend sound, and after your first purchase it has no watermark. Pick the trend’s sound when you post and your video also shows on that sound’s page.
Who can see my video?
Only you. It stays private in Assets until you create a share link.
What happens to my photos?
Your photos are deleted 7 days after upload and never used to train AI.
One photo.
Your pet in Smalltown Boy AI.
