Viewers pointed to glitches, including a six-fingered character, in “Christian Dior’s Night in Color,” voiced by Robert Pattinson and Rihanna. Producer Aton Soumache cites seven months of work and about 20 people. The team admits using automated interpolation for some in-between frames but rules out generative AI for the artwork. Chomet says the tool automates repetitive, mechanical work, not creative work. The film launches Dior’s 2026 holiday season.
