With Generative AI's evolution from an independent auxiliary tool to becoming part of the animation production process

it has driven the traditional linear production mode towards intelligence and cooperation. This paper analyzes the application of generative AI in script development

character design

and storyboard creation; its practical use in animation asset construction

dynamic image generation

and visual rendering

and discusses its effect on production efficiency

human-machine collaboration models

and the change in creators' roles. We address emerging problems such as aesthetic homogenization

reduction of creative subjectivity

copyright

and ethics. With the continued development of multimodal models and AI agents

we expect that animation production will form new workflows where creators control creative objectives

AI agents coordinate tasks

and multiple models collaborate to execute them

leading to further transformation of animation production methods and creative paradigms.
