About
Offensive AI Pixar refers to a series of AI-generated posters for non-existent films executed in the style of Pixar and Disney animated movies. The posers usually explore offensive topics that would be seen as inappropriate, exploitative and unfit for a family film. In October 2023, an AI-generated poster for an animated movie titled 'Caust based on the events of the Holocaust and Adolf Hitler achieved virality on social media.
Origin
Offensive AI Pixar
On May 30th, 2023, AI artist and TikToker[1] @buydusty posted a video that showed an AI-generated Disney Pixar movie poster for a film titled Wallace showing rapper Notorious B.I.G. as the main character. The video received over 2.9 million views and 343,900 likes in five months. The image of the Wallace movie poster was also uploaded to @buydusty's website[2] (shown below).
In early June 2023, the parody poster saw viral spread on social media. For example, on June 3rd, 2023, X[3] user @BM4RM914 posted the image, commenting, "Is This Real." The post gained over 2,100 reposts and 4,700 likes in five months.
On August 9th, 2023, the Facebook[4] page Planet CajuNerd Experimental Media posted seven AI-generated images for a Disney Pixar movie named Lot Lizards, created with Bing Image Creator (several images shown below, left and right). The post gained over 80 reactions and 50 shares, with one of the images (shown below, left) being widely circulated[5] in the following days.
On September 21st and 23rd, the Facebook and Instagram page The Trollercoaster poster AI-generated posters referencing the 1 Guy 1 Jar and Piper Perri Surrounded memes, which received over 40 and 210 likes on Instagram,[6][7] respectively, but were widely shared on social media in the following weeks (shown below, left and center).
On September 24th, 2023, the Facebook[8] page Dark Asylum Radio posted an AI-generated poster for 2 Girls 1 Cup that was widely shared online on Facebook[9] and X / Twitter[10] in late September (shown below, right).
Pixar's 'Caust
Starting on September 30th, 2023, one day after Bing Image Creator was updated with DALL-E 3 AI technology, anonymous users on 4chan's /pol/ board[11] created "Bing AI political memes" threads in which users posted political and offensive memes created with the AI. In one such thread, a user posted[12]an image of the Nazi Germany leader Adolf Hitler giving a speech in front of a crowd of concentration camp prisoners in the art style of Pixar animation (shown below, left). In the same thread, more Holocaust-themed AI-generated images in Pixar's style were posted (another example shown below, right).[13][14]
Spread
Later on October 1st, 2023, an anonymous 4chan user created a /pol/[15] thread titled "pixar holocaust," with users submitting Holocaust-themed AI-generated images executed in the style of Pixar animation. The thread reached its limit with over 340 replies.
