Unfrosted: Plot
In 1963 Michigan, a captivating rivalry unfolds between Kellogg’s and Post, two sworn cereal adversaries vying to invent a breakfast pastry that will revolutionize morning meals forever. “Unfrosted,” a film directed and written by Jerry Seinfeld, delves into this narrative of ambition, betrayal, sugar, and the looming presence of menacing milkmen.
The inception of “Unfrosted” stemmed from the realization that a serious boardroom meeting centered around cereal is inherently comedic. “We relished the idea of suited men engaging in discussions about cereal all day,” Seinfeld explained. “The absurdity of their appearance juxtaposed with their discussions made for a fantastic setting. Picture Jim Gaffigan in a snug suit, his face contorted in seriousness as he bellows, ‘Gentlemen, we must take this work more seriously!’ Yet, their discourse revolves around crinkles, puffs, sprinkles, and pops—subjects typically associated with childhood, yet here they are, grown adults engrossed in it.”
