Disney Selects Animaj To Accelerate Animation

Disney has selected Animaj as part of its 2025 Disney Accelerator cohort and is finalizing a partnership to integrate the startup’s AI-assisted animation tools, a company and Disney executives said. Animaj uses motion-inbetweening trained on show-specific images to reduce a five-month production cycle to under five weeks for a five-minute episode, while keeping animators in control. Disney plans an announcement in coming months.
