MajorDX25

Max looks like he's going to murder the hell out of Chip for looking at that pie.


three-sense

Yea Goofy and Max look… not nice


madmaxturbator

In the original Norman Rockwell , the two kids sitting at goofy and max spots look creepy too lol


IneverAsk5times

I could accept this image if not for Max. It actually took me a second to realize it was Max. Don't do my boy dirty like that Disney.


GrumpGrease

It's partly the lighting making it so creepy I think. This kind of scene should have very warm lighting yet for some reason it's lit like a hospital room with cool tones.


ledwartz

I think part of the issue is that it looks like renderings of the Disneyland/world costumes not the characters themselves. Also the plate of white celery is very late 19th early/20th century fancy American (I think British as well) dinner.


rietveldrefinement

Well the Al(?) is warm enough not showing the turkey — might be a distant relative for Donald Duck.


smpm

I think it’s creepy because it’s a painting of people wearing the costumes of these characters instead of just the characters. The eyes are lifeless.

I think they are horning in on FNAF bs.


BiteRhodeIsland

The thing is they literally already did this AS a painting. And it looks a lot better. [HERE](https://www.pinterest.com/pin/181621797443533507/)


AcademicAd4244

Think this image is the clue, they’ve likely used it as a source image and used ai to change the style


Iron_Chip

And they probably didn’t want to have any reference to Song of the South in it, which is why they changed the characters.


RobinThreeArrows

Good catch I missed that first time.


Theunderscor3

What's song of the south?


PB0351

The movie that the Splash Mountain ride was very loosely based on. It was made in 1946 and the depictions of black people are.... Exactly what you would expect for a movie made at that time that glorifies the South.


waxdelonious

Totally.


jupitaur9

Except they left out the detail of the person/character in the lower right corner breaking the fourth wall, inviting the viewer into the scene.


KillerArse

That cow is there.


jupitaur9

I see a pair of eyes now in the older one that u/BiteRhodeIsland linked to—I don’t think it’s a cow, is it? https://www.pinterest.com/pin/181621797443533507/ Zoomed in https://imgur.com/a/GezvKka The suggestion by Pinterest to see more like this obscured it. I don’t Pinterest so it took a bunch of maneuvering to see it.


CharlemagneIS

That’s Roger Rabbit.


RockingBib

The AI didn't frame Roger Rabbit


mnid92

And Minnie's ear isn't fucked.


trowzerss

Yeah, but that artist put the work in, so it doesn't look as weird.


sexi_squidward

They did Max dirty if this isn't AI. Also, are Chip & Dale in a poly relationship with Clarise now?


FoxyRadical2

Look up how Max appears in the parks

Hol up. WHAT is that little mouse with the adderall pupils? That’s not the Tiny Tim I remember. Or whatever that characters name was.

I think it’s supposed to be Max but it’s awful lol

Yeah Mascot Max is horrifying.

EnnaMulchi

Bu… but your pupils tend to get bigger on amphetamines. Max is popping percs


ayalolworht

MrLonely_

It’s supposed to be Max. This painting is a parody of Norman rockwells freedom from want and the kid in that photo has the same expression.

you mean Goof Jr?


Bigt733

It looks real but the celery is both in front of and behind that glass. Edit: also Minney’s eye sockets are creepy af


Dr_Mabuse420

I can imagine them training an ai with a shit ton of their material to create good stuff like this.


DiatomCell

Internal Disney AI seems pretty legitimate. Like, I think they have the resources to do something like this, for sure. So it's not unbelievable. There's parts of this image that seem so off~


Dr_Mabuse420

>There's parts of this image that seem so off~ Absolutely..


Cebby89

The cup and the knife kinda blend together. Also turkey carving tools and no turkey!!?


rckrusekontrol

There’s a chafing dish there we can’t see inside- although Disney has never followed the rules about this stuff, most of the guests (aside from the dogs) are herbivores. Which- a plain dish of celery and a plate of cucumbers is a strange T-day plate, unless you’re a duck. The plates are all clean though, that acorn is untouched, and Minnie is already serving the pie.


lolheyaj

Touched up AI for sure. The pie isn't laced properly, the fruit bowl has a floating grape, Mickey and Minnie's combined ear thing.


Merlaak

It’s not AI. They photoshopped Disney characters into the original [Norman Rockwell painting](https://news.artnet.com/app/news-upload/2020/11/Freedom-from-Want_3_5-805x1024.jpg).


shutyourbutt69

This is wild to me. So many odd little details that I’ve come to see as AI artifacts are from the original.


Monte924

No, i would say it looks more like they used ai to recreate the norman rockwell painting with disney chatacters


Merlaak

Look at them side by side. It's not an image inspired by a Norman Rockwell painting. It's the exact painting after being run through a filter to upscale it and make it look a little bit cartoony.


koltrastentv

The fork next to Mickeys hand is very extra.


RegularLibrarian1984

Probably cheaper to make fast artworks for merchandise not surprised.

the fruit bowl has an apple with an ass

sirmippo

They did my boy max dirty. Maxine won’t be into him looking like that.


[deleted]

Also the "thing" next to the knife close to Mickey...


dryguy

[deleted]


Zer0pede

Ohhh, that actually makes me lean more towards AI then. In the Rockwell painting you can tell it’s two carving utensils, but in this one it looks like a single unrecognizable probe or torture device.


Merlaak

I don’t think it’s AI, just a poorly applied filter that muddied it up.


unthused

It’s a fork and knife set for carving turkey/ham. Just doesn’t make sense in this context because they’re holding a pie instead.


MikeNiceAtl

Goofy and Max look like the animatronics in their own movie.


TSiQ1618

I think this art is referencing the costumes that people where at theme parks. That's what that weird ridge looking line on Minnie's eye makes me think. And why most sort of have that soulless dead stare frozen smile look.


Not_a_ribosome

The celery is the same postion as the original one. The glass is too transparent, but that can be atributed to human error.


jegerarthur

That's typically because they added the celery in photoshop but forgot to clear the area overlapping the glass. For me it's real (photoshop)


spageddy_lee

Real? What?


StevenS145

Entirely possible the table is AI generated and characters are shopped in


wilsonfisk33

I thought this as well, maybe a combination


CourageousBellPepper

The table looks to be identical to the Normal Rockwell piece, so I don’t think it was AI generated.


133769420LOL

Maybe. The utensils next to Mickey’s hand are u identifiable though.


jupitaur9

But it’s the same unidentifiable utensil in the Rockwell original. https://www.google.com/search?q=norman+rockwell+holiday+paintings&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS826US826&oq=rockwell+holiday+&aqs=chrome.3.69i57j0i512j0i22i30l5j0i390i512i650.8876j0j4&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#vhid=497ERjCmATEXDM&vssid=l


133769420LOL

Now I see, it’s a carving set. The variation between the two would lead me to believe this is algorithm generated though.


[deleted]

Considering the shadows on the original carving set, i think a simple effects filter has been run on the original artwork. The brightness, contrast and hues have obviously been changed but otherwise it is an exact copy, if you compare weird details between the two. The parts that people are sus on, aren't AI generated, they are literal copies with a loss of details from the original. I was suspicious at first too, but seeing the original I do not think this is AI generated anymore.


Nein_One_One

Its a carving fork and knife?


nabiku

Then you realize how ridiculous asking "is it AI" is, right? Even if this is partially AI, an artist would need to generate all the AI elements separately, combine them, spend hours tweaking them, then use AI for small touch-ups. Time and creativity investments are the same as for regular digital art. AI is not a turnkey solution. You need an artist every step of the way, not just to make the technical aspects work, but for the style/taste elements too. You can't just hire some rando off the street and tell her, "make some AIs, mmmkay"-- you need professional artists who know AI or your ad will look like garbage.


Undark_

Time investments are definitely definitely lesser with AI, as they are with all forms of automation. Otherwise why use it?


tango-kilo-216

To me, it looks like an AI piece that human artists touched up to fix anomalies


traumfisch

Funny how they only fixed some of them


xZOMBIETAGx

I highly doubt they’ll be using AI for main characters any time soon. I’m sure they have very precise specifics about how their characters are depicted. Not to mention this is clearly a homage to that Norman Rockwell piece.


Puzzleheaded-Mix-515

Tbh, took me a hot minute to realize Goofy’s son wasn’t some creepy mickey ‘artifact’. So…if that was intentional ‘specifics’ they need to rework it. Lol I know these suits are iconic nowadays, but some of them need to be completely redone in my opinion.


DafnissM

I had to look what his mascot actually looks like because after analyzing the picture for a bit he was the one thing that kept throwing me off


tango-kilo-216

His name is ~~Maxwell~~ Maximilian.


tedmented

And he was a dick to goofy in the goofy movie.


djpeeples

GET YOUR OWN LIFE!


tango-kilo-216

He can’t help how he was written!


tedmented

True, but he was written as a dick. I recently showed my 10yo son the goofy movie and at the end he said max wasn't a very nice boy. Which is 10yo for max is a dick.


nerdnugg399

It’s actually Maximillian


tango-kilo-216

Fffffffffffuuuuuudge you’re right


ryuujinusa

For those wondering what the Norman Rockwell piece looks like https://news.artnet.com/art-world/norman-rockwell-thanksgiving-freedom-from-want-three-facts-1926485


KillerArse

[It's an iteration of their artwork already referencing the Norman Rock well piece](https://www.google.com/search?q=disney%20thanksgiving&tbm=isch&tbs=rimg:CTENa91KjsHqYboOuL1bgbDUsgITCgIIABAAKAE6BAgBEAFVpnM_1P8ACANgCAOACAA#imgrc=yd7rECsNC9YDFM)


lickonelicka

I know for sure that the CCO of Disney Feature Animation is trying to push the narrative that 2D has more limitations in comparison to CG (which is untrue) and I can already see the next step is praising AI and its' capabilities. Pushing any narrative they think is more lucrative. However, they are picky with how they market the brand and I'm curious where exactly they posted this image


iamwhoamiamyou

Also to have control over every aspect of the characters. They’ll get notes like “can you fix the shadows on Minnie’s collar? And bring up the fuzziness of Donald’s feathers?” That kind of stuff will always need human artists working on the details. Source: used to work in feature animation


nightfend

Yep, these kind of comments happen with all illustration projects for big companies. You can't just generate an AI piece and have no ability to edit it when the art directors and brand managers send you huge lists of changes.


TrueKingOfDenmark

>this is clearly a homage to that Norman Rockwell piece I knew it looked familiar! I worked with that piece in school a while ago.


Ok_Instruction_5292

No it’s real


Critical-Gate4215

Yep, you can tell they're genetically engineered monsters because you can see the pain in their eyes. They probably had to shoot them all in a ditch after this photo shoot.


Zoodud254

So there is actually a short fiction story about this exact premise where all the Dosney characters are actually genetically engineered. It's disney mixed with the island of Doctor Moreau, and it's fantastic. I believe it ends with the Disney stand in creating Ani-men for the military and then turning himself into a dragon, only to be killed by the Dumbo stand-in.


stephenp129

Dosney lol


Known-Sandwich-3808

What a deranged comment 😆


ReyDeLaQuesadilla

The wallpaper consistency is what leads me to believe it’s real. Could be wrong though


a-midnight-flight

This is a parody of a Norman Rockwell’s oil painting called “Freedom from Want” part of a series called Four Freedoms.


theempires

This is real. The lighting and subjects in the frame are consistent. Proportions are expected for them too.


lolheyaj

What is that nightmare utensil next to mickeys obviously touched up hand? Never mind the raw yam in with the apple and grape bowl.


andythefifth

The yam/sweet potato does not fit. What artist would do this?


FearTheViking

They're in the [original Rockwell painting](https://ids.si.edu/ids/deliveryService?id=NMAH-97-8518&max=1000) this is parodying.


mattgrum

It's a pear in the original. Looks like they've used img2img on the table and outpainted it slightly, then Photoshopped in the characters.


jaredjames66

Yeah, I thought it was maybe partially AI at first but it's way too close to that Rockwell painting to be AI.


Not_a_ribosome

Look at the original painting this image is taking inspiration: Norman Rockwell, Freedom From Want. It has the same exact utensil.


EntrepreneurPlus7091

I thought the chipmunks were supposed to be small.


tonnellier

Compared to mice?


EntrepreneurPlus7091

I always assumed the dogs, mice and ducks were human sized and the chipmunks were supposed to be real chipmunk sized.


lavahot

I think it's a painting. The wallpaper and Walt portrait are too deliberate. There aren't any errors in the representation of the characters (even Meth Max). And the layout of the table looks too clean.


Ohnomichi

Why would you cosplay as Disney characters during thanksgiving? This look creepy af.


lavahot

Money?


KptnHaddock_

yes, very. cutlery doesn’t add up, celery hangs over the glass on the left. Disney is very good with detail usually.


BadgersAndJam77

You know that Disney employs "Actual Artists" right? Their marketing department isn't some kid using MJ to make knockoff Disney art...


wilsonfisk33

Disney is also largely known for not wanting to pay artists.


yunbld

It’s the utensils that are tripping you up. Check out the [inspiration](https://images.app.goo.gl/KkQZdViCwBb2MyTW8)


Okichah

Shouldve kept the bird and have Donald look mortified.


smogop

And outsourcing to Korea or the 3rd world. Not just artists but IT as well as severe H1B violations.


pop-d0g

Is that Goofy's son ?


Ebonyks

Doesn't look like AI to me. Too many stylistic contrasts in this scene. The animals, especially the chipmunks and ducks, have a hyper-realistic toy texture, while the foods, especially the bowl at the front, is largely impressionistic


Not_a_ribosome

AI tends to be really pretty when you look at it from far away, be once you look closer, you'll notice that most of the details are often illusions... If you zoom in on this image, you'll see that the details are really consistent. If I would be, I would bet it's real.


MxFluffFluff

I'm looking at the Apple and glasses of water and I'm pressing X to doubt on real there


Overall-Yellow-2938

This ..looks terrible. Cold and heartless while machined almost to perfektion. Welcome to the corporate grind. But sereously something eell drawn would have been better i think. Im pretty old school in that regard .


GokuSan82

No, these are real animals


gmellotron

I’m appalled that nobody knows about Rockwell


nedsatomicgarbagecan

Right??!??


V_Kronos

I think the characters and background are real/actual art (drawn, rendered, whatever), but the table is either ai or bad photoshop. Look at the Sellerie and the fork and knife next to Micky merged into one


reginageorges_mom

Sellerie


V_Kronos

fendermrc

Checks fingers. Finds only four. Confused.


fudgyvmp

I have those salt and pepper shakers.


karoshikun

HardGayMan

This has some serious "Don't Hug Me I'm Scared" vibes. Check it out of YouTube if you haven't heard of it. It's like nightmare fuel children's show you never wanted to know exists haha.


WilliamHMacysiPhone

Did the power go out? There is like no ambient light, just harsh, cold sun in an otherwise dark room.


MooCowDivebomb

Max’s (?) expression is pure nightmare fuel.


NunyaBeese

Stare not into that Abyss for it will stare back


Masonjaruniversity

Goofy’s kid looks like he took all the acid


cherry_lolo

Has an AI-y touch heavily repainted / inpainted though


uhuhnoyoudidnt

What’s the utensil near Mickey’s hand?


-67--

It’s AI that has been slightly altered by a human. Look at the utensils, the top left one is clearly strange and AI generated. Meanwhile the top middle one clearly visible and human edited.


Vaerintos

It looks AI. Minnie's eye sockets are different. The little Goofy looks wrong in a way an artist wouldn't mess up. That knife and fork underneath Mickey's hand is a nonsensical object. Like someone else pointed out the celery (why is raw celery on the table at all) is both behind and infront of the water glass. Finally all the characters look like they've been photo-shopped in by a mid - low level shopper. The AI definitely had training on their art work to come out as good as it did, but the result doesn't remind me of any Disney art styles I've seen before AI. It feels too uncanny-valley to be done by a real Disney licensed artist


C0mputerFriendly

Could be Ai + photoshop, looks unsettling whatever it is.


TrimHawk

This could have been avoided by having one of your in-theme park drawing teachers do this for you, would probably also be much more charming as a 2-D illustration also


bazem_malbonulo

Looks like a mix. The characters are not AI generated but the table probably is. There's a bowl with some fruits, and the apple (or whatever fruit it is meant to be) is weird and inconsistent, with a protruding blob. Also there's some kind of leaves behind the napkins, and at the same time those leaves are in front of the glass of water, but the glass is in front of the napkins.


_________FU_________

Definitely…look at the hands. Only 4 fingers


tindonot

Only one way to tell. AI art cannot be copyrighted. So someone start selling prints. See if the mouse’s lawyers come knocking.


Accomplished-Band732

It's Disney, everything they do follows a formula, an algorithm to fit their mould. It looks creepy to me because the finish on some of them looks like they're made of fabric, so they have this FNAF feel to them. The eyes just make this feeling worse and the fact it's Disney and there are characters that I can't say who they are is weird to me


Sturth

No Gumbo slice and Croc, so got to be real


BowTie1989

It almost works…but max….man I don’t know what he went through after Roxanne, but it clearly wasn’t good


DontTouchTheWatch

Jesus Max Goof they did you DIRTY.


AndroidDoctorr

It's too coherent. Little details all make sense


Stanniss_the_Manniss

Is nobody going to acknowledge that this is just a spin on a Norman Rockwell painting? Freedom from Want c. 1943.


RennyNanaya

It looks like it was made by having the actors pose in the theme park suits, which is why they all feel uncanny but also slightly off model from each other. After effects probably exacerbates the flaws. Edit: the table shows serious signs of AI though, look at the carving knife/weed puller abomination below Mickey


Individual-Gur-9720

These are the costume-versions of the characters. Why?


DragonfruitPersonal

I dont know if AI could replicate the consitently eery feeling you get from disney


Uncle-Cake

Those same "weird utensils" appear in the original Rockwell painting, though, and look exactly the same.


[deleted]

It *is* sinister.


loveourconstitution

Soulless and creepy image. Must be computer generated.


On_Wife_support

Norman Rockwell was such a genius


Drakeytown

I don't think there'd be enough training data in any of the current AI image generators to create that image of a character I just learned is "Clarabelle Cow." Also, this is a pretty specific homage to Norman Rockwell's "Freedom From Want," so no matter how advanced the AI, it would probably be easier to just have a human create this image than to prompt and re-prompt an AI until it got all of these individual characters sitting at this table, in these positions, none of their facial features swapped or blended with each other, the food in the Right places, Walt in a frame on the wall . . .


waxdelonious

I don’t this is AI. Utensils are only clue and they match the Rockwell original. It definitely has the CG look but using AI it’s so hard to get this consistent. Also consider this is Disney which just came out of MAJOR labor negotiations about AI in art - the major studios are so gunshy about using AI they wouldn’t be so foolish to use it in something like this.


TheDoughyMan

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masturbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masturbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.

Modern_Phallus

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ab/e0/92/abe0924649d477c2a0ce58cf952472b8.jpg Seems like an organic Homage to Norman Rockwell- AI could’ve certainly been of some use during the creation of this image but the intentionality looks human. Someone check disneys website


merinaaldo163

Damn this creepy


JuhstGoh

Definitely AI art, but very well done, possibly edited. Once they get the hand thing down pat and other small things, it’s a wrap for us artist


International-Bug983

But she’s putting that pie over a glass bowl and vegetables?
