- Function length Animation Critterz will be made with the help of Openais GPT-5
- The movie with a budget of $ 30 million is expected to debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 2026
- Script writers from Paddington in Peru are on board
A new animated feature film, Critterz, is produced using the Chatgpt creator Openai, and it could debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 2026.
Critterz, a story of forest animals going on an adventure after a disturbance in their village, was originally created as a short film using Openais Dall-e back in 2023.
Now the creator, Chad Nelson, who is a creative specialist at Openai, has joined forces with Vertigo Films and Writers of Paddington in Peru to create a full -length version of a $ 30 million budget of $ 30 million.
30 million dollars may sound like a huge amount of money, but compared to other animated films like the latest Pixar movie, Elio, which has a reported budget of $ 200 million, it’s hardly a scratch.
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal is Vertigo Films “Trying to make the movie in about nine months instead of the three years it would typically take.” This is possible thanks to AI and native foreign, “a study specialized in using AI with traditional video production tools.”
However, the film will not be fully generated. Critterz wants human voice actors, original works of art from artists who are then taken to GPT-5 and other AI image generation tools and an original script.
The plan for the film is to show the power of Openai’s tools and prove that AI can have a positive impact on the film industry. “Openai can say what its tools do all day long, but it’s much more effective if anyone does,” Nelson told WSJ, “it’s a much better case study than me building a demo.”
Openai’s big gamble

An open spokesman told WSJ that Critterz “reflects the kind of creativity and exploration we love to encourage.” And the company hopes that the film shows the possibilities of creativity through AI, rather than harming the reputation of technology in the industry through bad per year.
The original Critterz card movie has an unclear 3.2/10 on IMDB from 13 ratings, which not only shows the lack of interest in the original source material, but also the lack of recognition from those who saw the short ones.
Critterz will not be the first feature length AI movie to grace our screens, but it is the first with such a large budget, albeit small compared to other animated films. With the support of the world’s most famous AI company, Critterz could succeed, where other media have not yet done so by emphasizing AI’s ability to promote creativity.
That said, we will have to wait until next year to find out if Critterz can really cause a disturbance in the animation industry driven by Juggernauts like Disney and DreamWorks.
