Spider-Man: Brand New Day Exclusive Featurette – Generations: The Evolution of Spider-Man

Starring: Jon Bernthal, Tom Holland, Zendaya

Directed By: Destin Daniel Cretton

Synopsis: It’s a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him — and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him — sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves — a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.

Disney Research Hub: Two2Four: Generative Quadruped Puppeteering from Human Motion

Realistic animal motion for virtual production is typically obtained either through motion capture of highly trained performers who accurately mimic animal behavior, or by retargeting ordinary human motion using complex control setups. Both approaches are challenging and often fail to fully reproduce the nuances of natural animal motion, motivating data-driven alternatives. We present an automatic human-to-quadruped puppeteering framework that produces plausible and controllable quadruped motions from ordinary human motion data. Our approach employs a two-stage generative diffusion model trained purely on quadruped motion data. By introducing a structured conditioning and inpainting strategy, our method supports a wide range of actions, including walking, running, jumping, sitting, and lying. Furthermore, we enable fine-grained intuitive control of the quadruped motion such as head movement control and individual limb puppeteering. Experimental results demonstrate improved motion realism and controllability compared to existing retargeting approaches, highlighting the effectiveness of our framework as a tool for animation and virtual production applications.

Disney Research Hub: Interactive Generative Motion Editing via Scheduled Inpainting

Motion editing is central to VFX and game development, where it is used extensively to modify and augment existing movements to conform to new environments or changes in artistic direction. While traditional motion editing can do small modifications, it cannot accommodate larger structural edits, resulting in visual warping artifacts that require authoring new motion. Conversely, recent advances in large-scale generative modeling have unlocked newfound capabilities for authoring entire movements by directly manipulating sparse spatial constraints. While impressive at creating new movements, these methods lack the capability to preserve and edit existing motion interactively. In this work, we introduce scheduled inpainting, a method that enables interactive generative motion editing, a novel paradigm unifying motion synthesis and editing by leveraging generative models. Scheduled inpainting is a simple yet powerful inference-based technique that enables fine-grained spatiotemporal control over the balance between preserving the original motion and generating new content. By building atop generative models that support direct manipulation, our system allows artists to interactively refine existing animations while ensuring results remain natural and consistent with the learned motion distribution. Scheduled inpainting is versatile and supports many editing applications, such as extending, stitching, and compositing different clips. Finally, we extensively validate our approach by comparing with four baselines, conducting ablations of our design, and reporting user feedback.

Building Pixar, Working With Steve Jobs, and Cultivating Creativity | Ed Catmull

Ed Catmull is the co-founder of Pixar and the former president of Disney Animation. He grew up in 1950s Utah wanting to animate for Disney. Convinced he couldn’t draw well enough, he studied physics and computer science at the University of Utah instead, landing in one of the great talent incubators in computing history. In 1972, he animated his own left hand—one of the first 3D computer renderings ever made. Since childhood he had carried a single ambition: to make the first feature film animated entirely by computer. Reaching it took more than 20 years. George Lucas hired Catmull in 1979 to build a computer division at Lucasfilm. When Lucas needed cash, Steve Jobs bought that division in 1986 for $5 million and spun it out as Pixar. For years it sold imaging computers and lost money while Catmull and John Lasseter made short films to keep the dream alive. Jobs sank roughly $50 million of his own money into it. In 1995, Pixar released Toy Story, the first feature animated entirely by computer, and went public days later. Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, WALL-E, and Up followed. Disney bought Pixar in 2006 for $7.4 billion and put Catmull in charge of both studios; he revived a faltering Disney Animation with films like Frozen. Catmull cared about the conditions that let creative work survive its own fragility. Every original idea, he argues, starts out ugly and broken, and management exists to protect it long enough to get good. At Pixar that meant the Braintrust: a room where directors got blunt feedback with no authority attached and the conversation stayed on the problem, never on who was right. He laid it all out in Creativity, Inc.
