00:00Tim Burton is sharing his thoughts on artificial intelligence and its threat to animation.
00:05Burton, of course, is known for his distinct style of characters,
00:08seen in his movies like Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie.
00:11During a recent interview with The Independent,
00:13the filmmaker was asked about a BuzzFeed story published in July
00:16that used AI to show what Disney movies would look like if they were directed by Burton.
00:21Some of the AI-generated examples included Elsa from Frozen and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty.
00:25Burton said in response,
00:30While Burton acknowledged that some of the creations were very good,
00:40it didn't take away from the less-than-enjoyable feeling he got seeing his creative style imitated.
00:45He explained,
00:55The use of AI in Hollywood is a major concern for actors and writers
00:59who have been on strike for months after contract negotiations faltered with studios and streamers.
01:04AI is one of the main points that they haven't been able to agree on.
01:07Later during the interview,
01:08Burton added that his Beetlejuice sequel was nearly finished filming before the strikes were called.
01:12He hopes to finish the film he says is 99% done once the strikes are resolved.
