新的人工智能平台与动画工作室合作，将动画放在粉丝手中。
尽管Runway凭借其资金充足的平台在视频生成领域处于领先地位，但动画行业仍然充满了人工智能颠覆的潜力。全球动画市场预计将从2023年的4331.2亿美元增长到2032年的8017.8亿美元（Precedence Research），而AI动画预计到2032年将达到236亿美元，年均增长率为39.3%（Polaris Market Research）。动画行业前景广阔。
目前已有多家初创公司正在改变动画行业：Wonder Animation（现为Autodesk的一部分）将视频转换为3D场景；Pixelz AI从文本生成动漫；DeepMotion专注于AI动作捕捉；Colossyan开发商业视频头像；D-ID从图像生成会说话的人物；Synthesia则创建多语言的AI主持人。
现在，一位新的竞争者进入了这个领域。2025年4月22日，Animait推出了其AI动画平台，具有行业首创的特点：与Animotion Media Group的官方合作，合法允许粉丝使用已建立的知识产权进行创作。这项技术使任何人都能通过文本提示生成完整的动画剧集，结合多个AI模型制作具有连贯故事情节和同步音频的视频。过去，动画制作需要专业技能和昂贵的软件，而Animait让粉丝能够轻松地在已建立的宇宙中创作或构建新的宇宙——在尊重知识产权的同时，实现内容创作的民主化。
“我们帮助任何人将创意变为现实，无论其动画技能如何，”Animait联合创始人亚历山大·丰纳列夫（Alexander Fonarev）博士表示。“我们的模型确保知识产权所有者的内容受到保护，同时他们也能从AI的进步中受益。”
与Animotion Media Group（全球观看次数超过460亿）合作，使粉丝能够在“问题俱乐部”宇宙中创作——这是AI动画领域首个官方授权的知识产权。Animait现在正在向等待名单上的用户开放访问，用户可以通过animait.com访问，早期功能也可通过Discord获取。
这一合作对动画行业具有重要意义。这是AI动画平台首次获得官方许可协议，允许用户合法创建和分发使用已建立知识产权的内容。
虽然其他公司如Vermillio也与艺术家建立了合作关系，以保护和变现知识产权，但这些合作主要集中在保护艺术家的权利和管理其肖像的使用。相比之下，Animait与Animotion的合作则进入了尚未探索的领域，积极鼓励在授权动画宇宙内生成用户创作内容——这在AI驱动的动画中开创了先例。

While Runway leads video generation with its well-funded platform, animation remains ripe for AI disruption. The global animation market is projected to grow from $433.12B (2023) to $801.78B by 2032 (Precedence Research), with AI animation specifically expected to reach $23.6B by 2032, growing at 39.3% CAGR (Polaris Market Research). There is a lot of promise in the animation sector.
Several startups are already transforming animation: Wonder Animation (now part of Autodesk) converts video to 3D scenes; Pixelz AI creates anime from text; DeepMotion specializes in AI motion capture; Colossyan develops business video avatars; D-ID generates talking heads from images; and Synthesia creates multilingual AI presenters.<p>Now a new contender has entered the arena. On April 22, 2025, Animait launched its AI animation platform featuring an industry first: an official partnership with Animotion Media Group that legally allows fans to create using established IP. The technology enables anyone to generate complete animated episodes through text prompts, combining multiple AI models to produce videos with cohesive storylines and synchronized audio. Where animation once required specialized skills and expensive software, Animait lets fans easily create within established universes or build new ones—democratizing content creation while respecting IP rights.<p>"We help anyone bring creative ideas to life, regardless of animation skills," says Animait Co-founder Alexander Fonarev, PhD. "Our model ensures IP owners' content is protected while they benefit from AI advancements."<p>The collaboration with Animotion Media Group (46B+ views globally) allows fans to create within the "Question Club" universe — the first officially licensed IP for AI animation. Animait is now rolling out access to waitlisted users at animait.com, with early features available through Discord.<p>This partnership is consequential for the animation industry. This is the first instance where an AI animation platform secures an official licensing agreement that allows users to legally create and distribute content using an established intellectual property.<p>While others formed partnerships to protect and monetize IPs in the realm of Generative AI - like Vermillio - these collaborations focus on safeguarding the artist’s rights and managing the use of their likenesses. In contrast, Animait partnership with Animotion moves into yet uncharted territory by actively encouraging user-generated content within a licensed animation universe - a precedent in AI-driven animation.
