"AI video platform Sora can now generate over 200 Disney characters. However, the deal between The Walt Disney Company and OpenAI goes much further: the company behind Mickey Mouse is also investing $1 billion in OpenAI, a sum of money it desperately needs. According to the announcement, Disney will also become a major customer of OpenAI, both through ChatGPT and the API service."
"Starting in early 2026, users will be able to generate short social videos featuring characters such as Mickey Mouse, Iron Man, and Darth Vader. A selection of these creations will be available on Disney+. The agreement does not include the voices or faces of real actors. However, users will have access to costumes, vehicles, and iconic environments from the Disney worlds. ChatGPT Images can also generate static images with the same intellectual property in seconds."
