March 28 (UPI) -- Netflix is introducing the new film Unfrosted.

The streaming service shared a trailer for the movie Thursday featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Melissa McCarthy.

Unfrosted is directed, co-written by and stars Seinfeld in his directorial debut.

The film tells the origin story of Pop-Tarts breakfast pastries, with Seinfeld and McCarthy playing rivals at Kellogg's and Post Cereal, respectively, in 1960s Michigan.

"A wildly imaginative tale of ambition, betrayal, and menacing milkmen -- sweetened with artificial ingredients -- Unfrosted stars Jerry Seinfeld in his directorial film debut," an official description reads.
