Korean Giant Behind 'Parasite' and 'Squid Game' Unveils First Full AI Animation — But Fans Are Furious Over One Glaring Detail

Ever wondered what happens when South Korea’s creative giant CJ ENM joins forces with cutting-edge AI? Well, meet Cat Biggie — the nation’s very first animated series conjured entirely by artificial intelligence. And like it or not, it’s about to claw its way into global screens.

Picture this: a scruffy tomcat who suddenly finds himself parenting a mischievous little chick. No dialogue, no awkward voiceovers — just pure visual storytelling told through clever, often playful animation. That’s Cat Biggie in a nutshell: 30 bite-sized episodes, each a brisk two minutes, all crafted by lines of code.

But here’s the kicker: this isn’t your run-of-the-mill scribble. CJ ENM — the studio behind Parasite and Squid Game — pushed the AI envelope by deploying two powerful tools. Cinematic AI wove together the imagery, sound, and 3D environments, while AI Script gobbled up trends to spit out storylines fresh enough to keep little eyeballs glued. Think of it as a supercomputer with a flair for adorable chaos.

And they didn’t dawdle. The entire show came together in just five months with a lean team of six — a whisker of time compared to the usual 3–4 months it takes to crank out a single five-minute episode in traditional 3D animation. Efficiency? You bet.

But not everyone’s lapping it up. On Reddit, fans didn’t exactly queue up with bouquets. In fact, the reception was more hiss than purr. One commenter branded it "utterly lazy, a way to dodge paying real animators," vowing to steer clear. Another shrugged it off as mere fodder "aimed at five-year-olds — not exactly a promising habitat for genuine animation."

Some were even more, shall we say, philosophically sour. Comparing it directly to the mega-hit (and equally divisive) Cocomelon, one user sighed:

"Kids couldn’t care less about quality, and plenty of parents are too lazy to check."

Another offered a particularly withering swipe, calling it "just another turd upon the giant, steaming pile of meaningless content cluttering up modern streaming libraries."

So what’s the takeaway? Maybe it’s a brave new frontier — or maybe just another neon sign flashing "profit over soul." Either way, Cat Biggie hits YouTube globally this July.
