- Critterz feature film animation will be done with the help of Openai GPT-5
- The film is expected with a $ 30 million budget debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 2026
- Paddington script writers in Peru are on board
Critterz is producing a new animated film, Critterz, with the help of the creator of Chatgpt Openai, and could debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 2026.
Critterz, a story about forest creatures that venture after an interruption in its town, was originally created as a short film that OpenAi uses Dall-E in 2023.
Now, the creator, Chad Nelson, who is a creative specialist in Operai, has been associated with Vartigo Films and Paddington writers in Peru to create a full version with a $ 30 million budget.
$ 30 million may sound like a large amount of money, but compared to other long -term animated films such as Pixar’s latest film, Elio, which has a budget of $ 200 million, is barely scratch.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Vertigo Films is “trying to make the film in about nine months instead of the three years it would normally take.” This is possible thanks to the AI and the native foreigner, “a study that specializes in the use of AI together with traditional video production tools.”
However, the film will not be completely generated by AI. Critterz will have human voice actors, original artist works of art that will then feed on GPT-5 and other Ia image generation tools, and an original script.
The film plan is to show the power of OpenAi tools and demonstrate that AI can have a positive impact on the film industry. “Operai can say what their tools do all day, but it is much more shocking if someone does,” Nelson told WSJ, “that is a much better case study than me building a demonstration.”
Openai’s great bet

An Operai spokesman told WSJ that Critterz “reflects the type of creativity and exploration that we love to encourage.” And the company will expect the film to show the capacities of creativity through AI, instead of damaging the reputation of technology in the industry through bad public relations.
Critterz’s original short film has a miserable 3.2/10 in IMDB of 13 classifications, which shows not only the lack of interest in the original source material, but also the lack of acclamation of those who saw the short.
Critterz will not be the first long -term AI film to honor our screens, but it is the first with such a large budget, although small compared to other animated films. With the support of the most recognized AI company in the world, Critterz could succeed where other media have not yet emphasizing the AI capacity to promote creativity.
That said, we will have to wait until next year to find out if Critterz can really cause an interruption in the animation industry led by giants such as Disney and Dreamworks.
