My favorite What If idea is the food in the fridge being neighbors because this could include such cute characters with each food/drink/item having its own personality. It makes me wonder about how a whole world/neighborhood could be created inside of this one object and leaves room for a lot of possibilities. It is still unclear who the protagonist would be and what the main conflict would be. Is there one piece of food that was forgotten about in the back of the fridge and keeps getting new neighbors replaced and wonders what is outside of the refrigerator? What would be the moral of the story/what are you trying to convey? I love this concept and would be such a great setting for a story and can include many different personalities and fun details!

Favorite idea is Penguins learning to fly!
It makes me wonder about their personalities and aspirations.
Nothing is unclear really, the illustration implies they are going to be pilots, but do they also learn or strive to fly with their tiny wings?

My favorite is the idea of penguins going to flying school! It's fun to imagine the history/culture around that--are they ashamed that they can't fly? Are they trying to recreate the lost art of their ancestors? Has climate change meant that more and more northern birds are visiting Antarctica, and the penguins have recently realized that most birds fly? Is there an oppressive new government that has decided that after all these years of just standing around it's time for the penguin species to act like proper birds? One major question I have is: do the penguins actually succeed in learning to fly?

I like the penguins learn how to fly idea the best. It seems like you can pull together a nice story about overcoming limitations. I do wonder how they're learning how to fly - it seems like using the help of technology, but I can't help but toy with the idea of them learning to fly before airplanes were a thing. It's just unclear to me how the flight school would work, and how the rest of the world would receive it!

I do wonder about the Food neighbours....to me seems like an initial idea someone had that just popped into their brain. Dose it make sense...no, is there a story there...maybe.....i do wonder how that would work. but I feel it would be limited by the environment.

I was unclear on the Hug story line. I would like some clarity on that and I think it would have a lot of depth as a story if done right. Or it could be too complicated if done wrong.

I think the butterflys could cook is a good idea. There is a lot of potential for light and color coming through the butterflys wings. As well as I can picture Sunlight coming through a window in a kitchen and steam rising and there being a warm atmosphere in the rendering. I'm not sure on what the story line would be but im not sure it matters as the visuals would be really strong.

My favorite: What if penguins went to school to learn how to fly? Why? It made me wonder why would they want to learn how to fly, It triggered my imagination and I even imagined it as a great animation movie on screen!
What makes me wonder the most about it: How will they learn to fly, what will be the school's method of teaching them to fly.
Was anything unclear: The purpose of learning how to fly, what will be the benefit of it.

All of your ideas are really unique, but I really liked the penguins learning to fly one! I love the irony in flightless birds becoming pilots. To me, their motivation is unclear, but there are numerous possibilities that could provide a physical goal for the story, for example they could want to race another species of bird around the world.
