THIS SUMMER… something came out of the box — and it’s coming for your mind.

Brainrot Studios has unleashed the official trailer for Ballerina Cappuccina (2025), a twisted horror fantasy that dances on the line between the absurd and the terrifying. From the studio that warped your mind with Brainrot: Animals, this new nightmare combines gothic fairy tale, caffeine addiction, and midnight dread.

☕🩰 Plot Summary

Once gifted as a quirky antique mug with a ballerina doll body, Cappuccina was meant to be just a cute conversation piece — until 3 A.M. came.

Each night, she awakens from her porcelain prison to dance through the shadows. With every pirouette, she grows stronger. With every sip of latte art left unfinished, she becomes more aware. And once she crawls out of the box, she hunts for sleeping brains.

Set in a fog-drenched forest town, the story follows a struggling dancer (played by Thomasin McKenzie) who receives the cursed cup as a 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day gift. After waking up with scratches, coffee stains on her ceiling, and whispers echoing “just one sip,” she begins to unravel the curse behind the doll with the demonic smile… and a creamy swirl of death.
