Hello UglyDolls fandom of Tumblr, I’m just going to put here a slightly edited version of an announcement I made to my UglyDolls discord server about the current drama around the new series:
Hello everyone, as you may be aware, the official UglyDolls YouTube channel has released a “new UglyDolls series” HOWEVER, this series is entirely AI generated, that is the animation, the voices, the music.
At this moment in time we do not know if the YouTube channel has been hacked or if this is official, as the credits contain official STX members (the creators of the UglyDolls movie).
The good news is the original creators of UglyDolls are NOT credited in anyway in the production of this except for inspiration, neither are the voice actors.
For now what you can do, find the videos and report them all for either spam or misinformation and dislike them. (I will link the existing episodes, trailer and the channel at the bottom of this message)
Despite being obviously AI generated there is still credits in the description, this leads me to believe it may have been hacked as honestly, AI content doesn’t get more obvious than this, and these people would just be making a fool of themself. (You’d think).
On top of this, the trailer and 3 episodes were all released yesterday. It almost seems like everything is in a rush to get out which could also point to being hacked as it’s just bad advertisement.
Another theory going round is that STX has been bought out and the new owners are making the AI slop content. (I do not know if there is any proof for this theory though)
So I’ve been told, as well as this, the co-creator of UglyDolls was asked about this new series on Instagram to which he said he had NO INVOLVEMENT.
This is backed up by the fact NONE of the other official UglyDolls accounts, creators etc on ANY other platforms have even mentioned the existence of the show, except the original UglyDolls show that was cancelled many years ago before production.
For now we can only hope that the account has been hacked and that these videos are fake. Hope all of you are alright. ☹️
LINKS SO YOU CAN REPORT THE VIDEOS. DO NOT SUPPORT!
