OpenAI is expanding its reach into various sectors, notably with its upcoming AI-generated animated film, Critterz. This ambitious project aims to transform Hollywood’s filmmaking approach, blending cutting-edge technologies like GPT-5 and DALL-E under the direction of creative specialist Chad Nelson. Produced in collaboration with Vertigo Films in London and Native Foreign in Los Angeles, Critterz is set for a debut at the Cannes Film Festival, followed by a global release in 2026. With a budget under $30 million and a nine-month production timeline, it marks a significant leap in filmmaking efficiency through AI. Although the film will utilize AI, it will retain a human touch, featuring voice actors and artists for character development and environment design. By navigating the fine line between technology and creativity, Critterz aims to redefine the industry while addressing concerns over AI’s impact on human artistry. The project’s success will largely depend on audience reception and industry response.
