Kling AI has signed an exclusive worldwide partnership with UK animation production company Evolutionary Films for the upcoming feature animated film “Minibots,” with the companies announcing the deal at the Cannes Film Market. Across the reports, Kling is described as the exclusive global “technological brand partner” or AI production partner, providing production support for the project.
The feature is described as having been previously announced, including at AFM 2024, and it is now further detailed through the Cannes market disclosure. “Mulan” director Tony Bancroft is attached to “Minibots” and is reported to handle character design. Additional creative involvement is also referenced, including “Terminator 3” writer Michael Ferris.
Both outlets frame the project as bringing artificial intelligence into mainstream feature filmmaking, though neither provides production start dates, release timelines, or specific deliverables beyond the partnership’s production support/branding role. No budget or distribution plans are included in the provided summaries.
