'Soggy Flakes' is a Canadian animated short comedy film, created by Heath, Jon, Nathan and Thomas Affolter and released in 2017.[https://www.awn.com/news/soggy-flakes-makes-world-premiere-montreal-stop-motion-festival "Soggy Flakes Makes World Premiere at Montreal Stop Motion Festival"]. 'Animation World Network', September 6, 2017. 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. 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,[https://roundhouseradio.com/2017/07/03/bc-creators-win-storyhive-top-prize-make-labours-love-reality/ "BC creators win top STORYHIVE prize to make labours of love a reality"]. Roundhouse Radio, July 3, 2017. 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.

The film premiered at the Montreal Stop Motion Festival in 2017, and was later screened at the Vancouver Short Film Festival in 2018,[http://www.animationmagazine.net/events/soggy-flakes-makes-west-coast-debut-at-vancouver-short-fest/ "Soggy Flakes Makes West Coast Debut at Vancouver Short Fest"]. 'Animation Magazine', January 25, 2018. but was distributed primarily through Storyhive's YouTube channel.

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).[http://www.cbc.ca/news/entertainment/csa-nominees-2018-1.4489100 "Canadian Screen Awards 2018: Anne has leading 13 nominations"]. CBC News, January 16, 2018.
