OpenAI is looking aggressively into establishing itself in varied domains and leveraging its technology to extensively spread out its products and services. The tech giant is now making headlines for its bold experiment in the entertainment category with its feature-length AI-generated animated film called Critterz and its attempt to reshape how producers view filmmaking in Hollywood. AI tools such as GPT-5 and DALL-E are said to be used, and the project is led by the company's creative specialist, Chad Nelson. The production will be made with Vertigo Films in London and Native Foreign in Los Angeles and is expected to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, followed by a worldwide release in 2026.
