Sora Users Can Now Generate AI Videos Featuring Disney Characters

OpenAI and Disney just inked a massive deal, unlocking iconic characters for AI video creation in Sora while Disney pumps $1B into the AI giant.

Key highlights
⦁ Three-year licensing lets Sora users prompt short videos with 200+ Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars figures—like Mickey or Darth Vader—but no voices or actor likenesses.
⦁ Disney becomes a major OpenAI customer, integrating APIs for Disney+ tools and ChatGPT for staff; includes equity investment and warrants for more shares.
⦁ Videos start rolling in 2026, with guardrails to block harmful content and protect creators' rights amid Hollywood's AI jitters.
⦁ WGA slams it as sanctioning "theft of our work," while Fairplay worries about kid-targeted AI; Disney insists it's safe and honors creators.
⦁ Boosts OpenAI's content library, potentially curating user vids for Disney+ and hedging against AI's entertainment shake-up.
