- Walt Disney Studios in Burbank is exploring AI integration to accelerate animation production while maintaining artistic quality.
- Disney showcased Animaj, a startup from its 2025 Accelerator program, demonstrating AI’s ability to drastically cut animation time for series like “Pocoyo.”
- AI streamlines the animation process by automating “in-between” movements, allowing artists to focus on key poses and final refinements.
- Disney plans to partner with Animaj, potentially deploying its AI system across Disney Branded Television and Disney Television Studios.
- Animaj’s AI-generated animation is trained on a specific show’s data ensuring consistency with the artist’s unique style, avoiding “nonsensical” results common in generic AI tools.
