Art style: Stylized 3D Animation.
The tiny colorful bird suddenly flies very close past the pelican’s face. The pelican gets extremely startled, opens its huge beak, and flaps its wings wildly. Arthur, the same grumpy old man in a gray beanie and beige blazer, is sitting on the pelican’s back, grabbing its feathers in panic. His eyes widen and his hat nearly flies away. Funny exaggerated facial expressions, tropical cliffs and turquoise ocean below, cinematic 3D animation, smooth movement, consistent characters.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image in the following art style:
High-fidelity 3D rendering featuring soft, cinematic lighting and detailed material textures applied to a character with exaggerated, whimsical proportions. The style utilizes a muted, earthy color palette to create a grounded yet expressive look reminiscent of modern feature-length animated films.
Every surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in this idiom.
