OR Openaithe American colossus behind the Chatgpthe is once again in the spotlight, with the creation of the Critterz animated film using, to a large extent, genetic artificial intelligence programs.

The film is expected to premiere at Cannes Film Festival In 2026, before her worldwide cinematic distribution, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The project is a bold move by the company to prove that artificial intelligence can significantly reduce the time and cost of production, without sacrificing artistic creativity.

The idea for “Critterz” began three years ago, when Chad Nelson, an OpenAi expert, created a short film using the Dall.e program. This experiment has evolved into an ambitious international collaboration, with the support of Vertigo Films and Native Foreign production companies and the funding of Federation Studios from Paris, according to Express Tribune.

With a budget that will not exceed $ 30 million and just nine months for its development, the film is in stark contrast to traditional cartoon productions that often require $ 100-200 million and over three years to complete.

Despite the use of technology, human participation will not be omitted. Artists will create the original sketches and the visual part, which will then edit the AI ​​models. Specifically, the GPT-5 will be used to form the script while Dall.e will undertake the visual implementation.

Actors will lend their voices to the heroes of the film while the James Lamont and John Foster, known for their success in the Paddington in Peru script, will be added to the team of screenwriters.

With this move, the “Critterz” where 30 people are already working, aspires to become the first example of a new model of production in cinema, where technology and human creativity coexist.
