Disney has quietly released its first AI-produced animated series.
Bluey who?
“Earlier this week, with little fanfare or announcement, Disney and French-based AI-animation company Animaj released the first episodes of Ozzy Fox, an animated musical series targeting young children.
The first two episodes are available now on YouTube and are a big step forward in Disney’s plans to embrace AI slop.”
“Disney and Animaj quietly released two episodes of Ozzy Fox on YouTube.
The two episodes have already received over 750,000 views. The series features a family of anthropomorphic foxes,
and each episode will seemingly revolve around a song designed to help kids go to the bathroom, do their chores, and so on.
CartoonBrew reports no press release was sent out ahead of the show’s launch and that it was told the companies want the launch to “speak for itself.”
People have called the series not ugly, but very bland
“It’s that kind of AI-generated look where everything is a bit too smooth, shiny, and sharp.
I also noticed a few oddities, like a railing that seems unfinished in the background of many shots and a piano that seems to be missing most of its bottom half.
I also find it very telling that, as far as I can tell, there are no numbers or letters seen in the background. Hmm.”
how much AI?
“We don’t specifically know how Animaj used AI to produce Ozzy Fox, but the studio is very openly pro-AI and has fully integrated AI tools into its pipeline.”
“Animaj is pioneering a new category of studios where data informs creation, AI accelerates production, and distribution is built in from day one,” says the company on its official LinkedIn page.
“The company brags that it reaches over 240 million kids monthly on YouTube using shorts and animated cartoons produced with its “proprietary AI-powered, digital-first production model.””
One time when my dad was in the hospital they were testing his orientation to time and place and said "Okay and what year is it?" and he said "1995" (he had dementia). And the doctor and I unconsciously exchanged a Look because it was in fact uhhh 2024 😐 and dad saw that and so when the next doctor did the test a few hours later he said "uhhhh...nineteen...nintetyyyy.......seven...???" and I was like okay, well, that IS closer, you do have to give him that
#he still knew immediately who I was which was deeply funny to me bc I was 7-8 years old in 1997 #"yes that is my daughter who was apparently born in her 20s"
