Sponsored by CapCut, a Global Sponsor of Fairground AI TV
Fairground and CapCut are calling on the world's most innovative AI filmmakers to take the classics and make them their own. Dig into the public domain, pick a story that speaks to you, and reimagine it through the lens of AI. Any genre. Any interpretation. The theme is Reimagined and the style is animation — what that means is entirely up to you.
• GETTING STARTED
Reimagine Stories Like Never Before
Think Sherlock Holmes as a sci-fi murder mystery. Hansel and Gretel as a psychological thriller. Snow White retold as a workplace comedy. Dracula reimagined as a mockumentary. Don Quixote as a buddy comedy. The source material is timeless — now it's your turn to make it unforgettable.
Here's some more suggestions to get you started:
King Arthur
Zorro
Van Helsing
Dorian Gray
The Works of William
Shakespeare
Beauty and the Beast
Cinderella
Moby Dick
Rapunzel
Frankenstein's
Monster
Hansel and Gretel
Peter Pan
Tarzan
Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde
The Three Musketeers
