No… and also if any animated film isn’t made by artists even CGI that isn’t designed and animated by humans and instead prompted should be completely ignored.

AI isnt artistic. Its laziness behind people with big emotions.

I think AI's best use in film isn't replacing filmmakers, it's testing stories before production. If you can quickly see whether a scene, character arc, or plot actually works before spending thousands of dollars, that's a huge advantage. Human emotion and performance still make people connect, but AI can help get the story right first.

People are out of their minds. No AI movie should get this much attention.

Just shameful. Ethically unacceptable and it looks like a bad videogame cut from ten 10 years ago.
