Disney Jr., Animaj Debut 2 'Ozzy Fox' Episodes as YouTube Views Near 800,000

Summary
Two "Ozzy Fox" episodes landed on YouTube and YouTube Kids on Wednesday and drew nearly 800,000 combined views within two days, marking a quiet launch by Disney Jr. and French animation company Animaj.
Animaj has made AI central to its production model, using tools such as sketch-to-pose prediction and motion in-betweening that it says cut time and costs, though neither company detailed how those tools were used on the series.
"Ozzy Fox" is a music-driven preschool show about a five-year-old fox turning daily routines into games; its first episodes focus on cleanup and toilet training, with Jennifer Oxley and Guillermo García Carsí among the key creatives.
The project deepens Disney's ties with Animaj after Disney joined Lumee, Animaj's kids-focused YouTube ad venture with Hasbro Entertainment, which sells inventory across Disney Jr., Star Wars Kids and other channels.
The understated rollout comes as AI disclosure in entertainment grows rarer; Netflix said just a day earlier that it had used genAI tools on nearly 300 titles this year.
