Chances are you might never have heard of the new Disney series Ozzy Fox if it weren't for one thing: some kind of AI-related technology was used somewhere in the process of making it. That's prompted an outcry that's won the animation far more visibility than it would have received otherwise.
Suddenly a cartoon for preschoolers that was launched on YouTube with little fanfare is generating headlines about Disney feeding kids AI slop. People have been quick to spot the hallmarks of AI video generators, from incomplete props to bad lip synching and a suspicious lack of any text or numbers in backgrounds. It's put Ozzy Fox up among the most controversial cartoons, helping it rack up thousands more views.
