What's the context to this?
-
My guess is this:
Seems they're adding games and some kind of AI TikTok to the service.

Loving the irony of posting this to a comm whose branding is literal AI slop 🤭
-
Maybe a little, but I think it fits pretty well, if you look at this from a "fuck copyright" angle. It's easy to see the problems with what Disney is doing here and in general.

AI bad.

Knights of Guinevere
This pilot is sooo fucking good!

Thank you for sharing this!
The dystopian future Disney would love to have.

Wait is that where Glitch came from?

Um, for those of us only just now finding out about this situation, what's the AI issue here? Did they pirate some of Dana's work with their AI, or is she inherently opposed to AI and Disney is just using it in general and that's why she's angry?
Full details: some people glean implications from people's posts, I just want to clarify: I don't care about AI, I'm just lost on what's happening here (I only just discovered Dana Terrace exists after only just recently watching the owl house and being told about her other works, so I'm curious about if her stuff is being pirated by Disney via whatever AI stuff they're doing)

It's more or less in response to this https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/disney-plus-gen-ai-user-generated-content-1236426135/

Massive capitalist media conglomerate is pro ai?? Shocked Pikachu

I have absolutely no clue how to parse that title. What situation? Who has a positive view? Just what?
-
it's the Disney+ jammed in there
simply replace it with "Disney's" and it makes more sense.
-
Disney wants AI generated content in Disney+
They want AI generated cartoons to increase profits.

White cis male attesting Owl House rocks, and yes, I did pirate it. Much Love.

reminds me i need to finish getting s2 and 3 <3
Lemme share the tea for anyone who isn’t aware:
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.
Does anybody know if knights of Guinevere is kid appropriate?
It absolutely is not. The swearing alone would make it inappropriate for kids, but one of the scenes literally has someone using another person's intestines as a leash. It's an excellent pilot, but not for kids like The Owl House was.
Not for young kids, there's blood and violence and language and so on
We only have one episode but so far it's not exactly young kid appropriate... but it's not fully adult animation either. The limited gore is slightly disturbing but technically from something comparable to a robot and while it does have some swearing it's not often.
From my individual perspective as a parent, mine watched it and I'd say around 10 or so, you'd probably be okay. Best practice in my opinion though is always going to be to watch it yourself first and see how you feel.
Oh shit is Knights of Guinevere out?
Apparently, episode one/the pilot was released 2025-09-19. No followup episodes yet. Wikipedia, TMDB, Website, Pilot (YouTube, 26 min)
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)
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?
Sure, just like disney movies it's made primarily for pubescent humans. Won't stop my ass from watching it.
