AB  - Netflix's official on-record statement confirms INKubator, an internal animation unit described as creative-led and GenAI-native, focused on animated shorts and specials using experimental GenAI-native production pipelines. The statement frames the unit as an artist-focused environment for exploring new tools and workflows alongside traditional practice, while explicitly ring-fencing Netflix Animation Studios' feature films, which it says will continue to be made with traditional techniques. An adoption landmark: the first major streamer to institutionalise generative AI in a dedicated animation unit.
