  abstract = {Published in Scientific Reports in May 2025, this study reports a twelve-week controlled experiment with 120 students enrolled in a university animation course. The experimental group received generative AI-supported pedagogy, including AI motion analysis tools providing intelligent diagnostic feedback, while the control group followed traditional instructional methods. Results showed statistically significant improvements in innovative thinking and learning efficiency for the AI-supported group. This is among the only controlled experiments conducted in an animation teaching context and provides direct empirical support for structured genAI integration in animation programs.},
