My first tropfirst, loved it! However, 2nd image of this film has 6 fingers? Insult to those who entered and didnt even make the final.

Shocking that this made the list. Ignoring the fact it’s slop, it’s just not that great. Clearly the script, not just the animation, were both AI.
> Tropfest is still formulating its long-term approach to AI, but our current guideline is simple: AI may be used as a creative tool, provided you clearly state in your entry form where and how it was used (a section of the form is dedicated to this). What matters most to us is transparency and that the filmmaker plays a meaningful creative role—AI should support, not replace, human authorship. Our pre-selectors and judges will see that information, but films won’t be penalised simply for using AI as long as its use is clear and appropriate.
Maybe they should have formulated their long term approach to prohibit it!

We should be vocal in our backlash against this. It worked against AMC theatres in the US, it should work here against tropfest.
No AI slop 🤮

😂 at BYD. Pays for jersey sponsorship from 2025 and AI doesn’t even pick it up. 🤦♂️

When you got the money and connections to pay an actual artist to come up with something cool, but you don’t want to pay anyone because your a greed kent.

Pretty shit for a festival celebrating art to do this.

This was the worst one of them all so far I reckon, even the script and audio sounded AI generated.

Made it in cause it likely pleased the sponsors. For those who didn’t see it, has a good section towards the end that highlights the festival and the Tropfest sponsors disguised as a joke

I can’t help but wonder what the light blue jerseys at the back are supposed to represent.

Looks so naff.
I also don’t like/buy the Rabbitohs/Roosters rivalry.

You can tell it’s AI because the Souths fans have teeth.

An insult to all the artists that are going to be losing all their jobs within the next decade to AI.
What’s the point of putting on Tropfest if they’re going to just use AI?

The livestream is still talking about how bad the AI film was.

Was proper disappointed by this one. Would have been hundreds of hand made ones that missed out.

I couldn’t agree more, watched this and absolutely hated it.

One of the key guys bringing Tropfest back is Peter V’Landys, who’s literally the head of the NRL. Make of that what you will
