Disney has announced a multi‑year partnership with Adobe to embed customized generative AI models into its creative workflows. Under the agreement, Adobe will serve as Disney’s official AI Innovation Partner, granting access to Firefly, Firefly Foundry, Premiere, Photoshop, and dedicated engineering resources. The collaboration aims to produce commercially safe, production‑ready outputs trained on Disney intellectual property. Walt Disney Imagineering is already using Firefly Foundry to transform hand‑drawn sketches into 2D concept art for park development, while Adobe will work with StudioLAB on experimental production pipelines and ESPN Edge on AI‑powered sports content. This deal follows Disney’s recent $180 million investment in former Character.AI talent and a $1 billion OpenAI commitment that collapsed earlier this year.
