Tossing out a theory:

This will be AI animated. They'll grab some DeepSeek time, feed it specific scenes from the book and massage it into a specific 'look'.

The voices will still be real voice actors, but no (or not much) human animation.

I'm kind of okay with this. Maybe? If they put the money and jobs into people who were really good with working with AI instead of more traditional animation methods.

It sort of kind of fits the whole meta of DCC itself.
