Disney Pixar AI: How to Create Emotional Videos Getting +5 Million Views

The Minions as grandparents reading stories to their grandkids? A Pixar-style panda opening the door to old friends? Pikachu revisiting childhood memories?

Welcome to the Disney Pixar AI Videos trend, one of the most viral formats on TikTok with 85.5 million posts.

A video of a Pixar-style panda opening a door has 5.6 million views. Minions with a grandpa reading: 4.8 million. Nostalgic Pikachu: 553K.

And most importantly: Disney just invested $1B in OpenAI to bring +200 characters to Sora. The trend is about to explode.

Disney Pixar AI Videos: What is this trend

The concept is straightforward: you recreate iconic childhood characters (Minions, Pikachu, Pixar-style characters) in emotional situations —reunions, family moments, nostalgic scenes— using AI to generate videos with cinematic narration.

Types of content that work:

• Emotional reunions: Characters seeing each other after years
• Family moments: Grandparents reading to grandkids, gatherings
• Childhood nostalgia: Characters visiting places from the past
• Aged versions: What characters would look like when older

The format hits emotional strings. People share because it reminds them of their childhood.

Why does this content work?

TikTok favors content that retains attention and generates interaction. Disney Pixar AI Videos hit both:

1. Universal nostalgia: Pikachu, Minions = icons that transcend generations
2. Emotional connection: Reunions and family are universal themes
3. Instant recognition: You don't need to explain who Pikachu is
4. Highly shareable: "Look at this, it reminded me of when..."
5. Infinitely scalable: Infinite characters x infinite situations

Plus, the format allows using any iconic character in any emotional situation.

Before explaining the process, watch how it works:

In this video we create a Disney Pixar AI Video from scratch in 5 minutes.

The Vuela Process: 5 Steps

Step 1: Download a viral reference video

Find a trending video you like and download it. This will be your format and narrative tone template.

Step 2: Generate the script with AI Studio

Go to aistudio.google.com and upload the reference video.

Use this prompt:

"Take the script from this video, but change the characters
to other very famous, well-known Pixar movie characters
and give me a script in this format, using only a voice over

[characters]

VOICE OVER: Single narrator voice for all descriptions
and dialogue

[end]..."

The AI analyzes the original video and generates a new script with other characters, maintaining the emotional format that works.

Step 3: Paste the Script in Vuela

1. Go to Vuela → Scenes
2. Paste the script in the Code section
3. The system interprets the script and creates scenes automatically

Step 4: Enable "Character Persistence"

This is the key step to maintain visual consistency:

1. Take a screenshot of your favorite frame from the video
2. Enable "Enable Character/Object Persistence"
3. Upload the captured image
4. Enter the character name (e.g., "Minions")
5. Select "Keep original style"

This ensures the character maintains the same visual style across all generated scenes.

Step 5: Add emotional music

Select music that matches the content's tone:

• Soft piano
• Pixar-style cinematic music
• Nostalgic instrumental songs

The right music multiplies the emotional impact.
