Hayao Miyazaki’s art style specifically has so much life injected into it, that you would have to be incredibly specific to even approach his style.
There’s an instance that stands out in Spirited Away, when Chihiro is putting on her shoes, she taps the toes of one foot against the ground to set it on correctly. A miniscule detail, but one that makes her feel more real. You’d need such an elaborate prompt to make that happen via AI, but thats the kind of detail that he includes in his movies. To him, the thought of having “someone” illustrate that who has never put their shoe on incorrectly and had to fix it is beyond inauthentic. That’s my take. Less about the worry of technology taking over, and more about the technology not understanding the language it’s being taught, because it can’t.

There were some AI models that could interpolate animation frames, specifically made for animators.
However, all trace of it disappeared and development resources were instead concentrated on generating animations from a few text prompts, primarily made for non-artists like corporate executives and investors.

Modern AI video models do frame interpolation too, at a quality far superior to old AIs. It’s not advertised as heavily but it’s definitely a capability that is directly useful for traditional animation studios.
