Oscar-winning filmmakers Michael Govier and Will McCormack (If Anything Happens I Love You) announce All Heart, a nine-minute animated short produced with Natasha Lyonne's AI studio Asteria. The film tells the story of a father visiting a young man with an extraordinary connection to his late daughter. The production combines hand-drawn artistry by illustrator Jimmy Thompson with AI animation: Asteria trained a custom model on Thompson's original art to generate additional production assets in his style, then integrated it into a traditional keyframing and in-betweening pipeline. The approach sidesteps the copyright debate entirely — the AI learns only from the creators' own work. The short qualifies for 2026 Academy Award consideration in Animated Short Film, making it one of the first AI-assisted films to enter the Oscar race.
