Experiencing Interruptions?

Steampunk Willie

Steampunk Willie is a bold reimagining of Steamboat Willie (1928), the groundbreaking animated short by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks, which entered the public domain in 2024. Using generative AI and advanced style transfer techniques, this experiment deconstructs and reshapes the original film into a surreal, mechanical world where past and future collide. While preserving the original rhythm, it offers a hypnotic reinterpretation that bridges early animation and cutting-edge technology.
