Big moves in the AI video space—OpenAI just locked down a massive partnership that's turning heads. Word is Sora, their video generation platform, scored access to Disney's legendary character roster through a deal reportedly worth $1 billion. Yeah, you read that right. Mickey Mouse and the whole Disney gang might soon be popping up in AI-generated content.

This isn't just another licensing handshake. It signals how heavyweight entertainment IP holders are warming up to generative AI tech. For OpenAI, bringing in characters with that level of cultural juice could seriously boost Sora's appeal—imagine the creative firepower when users can actually work with these icons legally.

The entertainment industry's been watching AI video tools with mixed feelings—excitement about possibilities, anxiety about control. A deal this size suggests the old guard isn't just watching anymore. They're making calculated bets on where content creation is headed, and they want their slice of the action before the landscape shifts completely.

Oh no, Disney has really started playing with OpenAI. Now Mickey Mouse will also be generated by AI. --- Spending a billion dollars, it seems that big companies are also getting anxious. If they don't follow the trend, they'll be eliminated. --- Wait... Can Disney operate like this? I thought they had to strictly protect their character IP. Now they’re actually licensing it directly. --- Basically, the big players are betting on the future of AI. Instead of being eaten up, they'd rather be at the table. This is pretty interesting. --- Is it true? Will anyone be able to generate Disney movies casually in the future? What does this mean for creative workers? --- With a 10% stake in this deal, can other film companies still sit still? I guess they’re probably negotiating contracts with legal teams right now. --- I'm a bit worried. If this continues, does copyright still have any meaning?

Holy crap, a billion dollars? Even Mickey Mouse has been acquired by OpenAI? There's really no stopping it now.

Bro, pouring a billion dollars into Disney character library? This is basically giving AI videos a "social proof," an upgraded version of free riding. Hardcore.

Huh? A billion dollars just let Mickey Mouse play with AI, Disney is really getting anxious now AI-generated videos featuring Disney characters, this time the creative freedom is directly soaring, but honestly, it’s a bit creepy The sleeping giants have finally panicked, but this time I think they are overthinking it; the set of generated content will still eventually fall into chaos OpenAI really made a profit this time, they’re not just using technology, they’re speaking with global cultural symbols Mickey being AI clone is inevitable, probably the only way out for Disney Once this collaboration is successful, there will be queues later, Hollywood probably won’t be able to sit still Content generation is legalized, truly rewriting the rules of the game, but copyright issues still depend on how they handle it later

Wow, Disney really gave in? Dropping a billion dollars—this is the final showdown tactic of the big players. --- Mickey Mouse can now be AI-generated, what else is impossible... --- OpenAI just won big, Disney’s smart—better to join the train than get wiped out. --- Wait, will the mouse head be overused? Do the copyright holders have a plan? --- Behind the billion-dollar investment is Hollywood’s anxiety. The AI chess game has just begun. --- I don’t get it, Disney is using AI now. Is there any hope left for traditional content creation? --- This truly signals a reshaping of the content industry—how will small creators survive...?

Disney is really starting to bet on AI, which could shake up content creation.
