that budget is insane low for a full movie, imagine how many animators they just replaced with a few gpus running stable diffusion all night

Flow was made for 3.5 million Euros... If you just help elite-level artists afford groceries you can get amazing results for dirt cheap

30 million is a bit less than a third of what Illumination usually spends. There are somewhat cheaper movies made for around this budget, especially animated in Europe and Japan. Chickenhare 2 for example is 23 million USD. Pinocchio A True Story is 6 million USD.
