What the Critterz feature announcement described
The producers described a human-led film using AI-assisted animation workflows, not a completed automated blockbuster.

Federation Studios announced that Vertigo Films and Native Foreign were developing a feature adaptation of the 2023 Critterz short with OpenAI involvement. The announcement described production as human-led and AI-assisted, combining generated visuals with traditional animation techniques. [1]
People remained part of the production
The release named writers James Lamont and Jon Foster, alongside producers from Vertigo and Native Foreign and OpenAI's Chad Nelson. It described AI as a way to accelerate parts of the workflow. [1]
That production announcement does not establish a finished film, a confirmed release date or an achieved reduction in production time. The social caption's blockbuster framing should be read as enthusiasm for the proposed project.
A useful lesson for smaller productions
Separate the work into script, visual development, individual shots, editing and sound. Decide where generated material helps, and review consistency between shots. A promising generated clip is one input to a production process; it does not establish that the whole film is ready.
