"Sora will be able to generate short, user-prompted social videos that can be viewed and shared by fans, drawing from a set of more than 200 animated, masked and creature characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars, including costumes, props, vehicles, and iconic environments. In addition, ChatGPT Images will be able to turn a few words by the user into fully generated images in seconds, drawing from the same intellectual property. The agreement does not include any talent likenesses or voices."
"Under the license, fans will be able to watch curated selections of Sora-generated videos on Disney+, and OpenAI and Disney will collaborate to utilize OpenAI's models to power new experiences for Disney + subscribers, furthering innovative and creative ways to connect with Disney's stories and characters. Sora and ChatGPT Images are expected to start generating fan-inspired videos with Disney's multi-brand licensed characters in early 2026."
A three-year licensing deal allows OpenAI's Sora to create short, user-prompted social videos using more than 200 characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars. ChatGPT Images will generate full images from brief user prompts using the same intellectual property. The license explicitly excludes talent likenesses and voices. Disney committed $1 billion to invest in OpenAI with options for additional investment and plans to deploy ChatGPT for employees while becoming a major customer. Curated Sora-generated videos will appear on Disney+, and public fan-inspired generation is expected to begin in early 2026.
