Lemme share the tea for anyone who isn’t aware:

  • Owl house is a show by Dana Terrace that ran on Disney
  • It slowly developed into big pro-LGBTQ themes
  • Disney panicked, cancelled the show, claimed it was unpopular despite excellent ratings
  • Dana Terrace left with a bunch of others to form an independent studio
  • Their first show (Knights of Guinevere) features a floating amusement park that rains garbage all over the workers below, and robots that have orbs on their heads that produce a silhouette strikingly similar to that of Mickey Mouse

I liked that although Knights of Guinevere was clearly ragging on Disney, it felt like it wasn't just a cathartic trauma dump from Dana Terrace and crew — it was actually being used to say something meaningful. It's a good sign when the pilot episode of a show has such a strong sense of themes.

I'd heard a lot of hype when the pilot was released, but didn't get around to watching it until I randomly thought "I wonder what Dana Terrace is up to nowadays? Hopefully she's working somewhere better than Disney, because surely there must be someone with power out there who recognised how Disney was squandering her potential". When I saw that it was her and some of the Owl House team who made Knights of Guinevere, that caused me to immediately go watch it. The only disappointment was that we don't know when new episodes will be available, but hopefully things will be regular once we do start getting episodes.

was the tweet in regards to something or just genai in general? like was disney+ specifically changing something about owl house and genai? (i agree disney is terrible i was just curious)

Oh shit is Knights of Guinevere out?

[–] Kissaki@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago

Apparently, episode one/the pilot was released 2025-09-19. No followup episodes yet. Wikipedia, TMDB, Website, Pilot (YouTube, 26 min)

[–] Hyperrealism@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Is Owl House mainly a kids show? It seems like it.

Same question for Knights of Guinevere? Kids, YA, a bit of both but also interesting for adults?

[–] Devjavu@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago

Sure, just like disney movies it's made primarily for pubescent humans. Won't stop my ass from watching it.

[–] The2b@lemmy.vg 64 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What's the context to this?

[–] stray@pawb.social 86 points 9 months ago (2 children)

My guess is this:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/disney-plus-gen-ai-user-generated-content-1236426135/

Seems they're adding games and some kind of AI TikTok to the service.

[–] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Who the fuck is asking for that?

[–] stray@pawb.social 24 points 9 months ago (2 children)

People are using AI to create videos of Disney properties or in the style of Disney properties, and corporations other than Disney are making money off that. They want people doing that behavior on their platform, making them money.

[–] 3dmvr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

this way they also control the rules for the output

[–] 3dmvr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago

tho all ai is easily manipulated, be funny what controversy kids getting past filters makes

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 9 months ago

I bet they also hope to ultimately corral all fanart into spaces they directly control.

[–] datavoid@sh.itjust.works 8 points 9 months ago

No one, they need a reason to raise subscription prices!

Shareholders need more profits. So, shareholders.

Once again - blame the Dodge brothers (yes, that Dodge).

Thank you for sharing this!

The dystopian future Disney would love to have.

Wait is that where Glitch came from?

[–] PMP@aussie.zone 26 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I don't know what The Owl House is. But from what I can gather I can now watch season one for free?

[–] taco@anarchist.nexus 86 points 9 months ago (1 children)

With piracy, you can watch all seasons of everything for free.

Massive capitalist media conglomerate is pro ai?? Shocked Pikachu

[–] groet@feddit.org 13 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I have absolutely no clue how to parse that title. What situation? Who has a positive view? Just what?

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 5 points 9 months ago

it's the Disney+ jammed in there

simply replace it with "Disney's" and it makes more sense.

[–] LiamTheBox@lemmy.ml 2 points 9 months ago

Disney wants AI generated content in Disney+

They want AI generated cartoons to increase profits.
