I am exploring AI powered 3d animation space. Even with current limitations and considering future trajectory of this tech, i feel it is possible to create memorable characters beloved by kids for 100x cheaper cost than traditional animation studios with GPU farms by focusing on storytelling through minisodes.

Not memes or spoofs. but actual storytelling by creating iconic characters from scratch.

Has anyone already explored this and has some views/feedback? Is anyone interested to explore this space together?

Exploring the use of AI-powered 3D animation to create new children's character IPs at a lower cost than traditional animation studios.

You should speak with an "IP" lawyer - the AI may not be creating "Intellectual Property" as that's currently the purview of humans only. Not even that grinning Macaque owned the copyright on his adorable selfie. Of course, you should consult a lawyer, because ultimately, you'll have to have a court trial to figure it all out.

i meant the character will be designed by a human. But animation will be done by AI instead of traditional modeling and rigging which is slow, labor intensive and very expensive.

I am not s lawyer, or an "Intellectual Property" expert, but if it looks "AI", I personally will not watch it, and I grew up with garbage animation like The Jetsons, Rocky and Bullwinkle, a Scooby Doo. At least on those shows, grizzled schlockmeisters would re-use cels and sequences they did in a tearing hurry to meet ridiculous deadlines.
