I’m currently in production co-directing a 30 minute animated holiday special based on the popular Minecraft characters, JJ & Mikey. Aside from hand drawn storyboards and human voice actors, the entire animation pipeline is created using generative AI tools. The film is nearing completion before going into mix and final color, and will air on Hulu this December.

In this scene, JJ & Mikey find themselves transported to a white void of nothingness. They soon discover that Cursed Santa has trapped them here for breaking the Christmas rules and that they must play his evil game if they are to escape his clutches and get back home.
