Doodles Trained an AI Model on Nothing But Its Own Art. Now the Company Wants to Make a Feature Film with It

Doodles AI, trained exclusively on its own art, creates studio-grade images 84,000 times faster and aims to produce the first AI-native feature film using proprietary intellectual property.

  • On Tuesday, March 17, 2026, entertainment company Doodles launched Doodles AI, a proprietary creative tool powered by Prism 1.0 that generates studio-grade imagery without using third-party training data.
  • Doodles CEO Scott Martin, aka Burnt Toast, created the tool to address industry concerns regarding copyright and consent, utilizing designs developed in-house over five years without incorporating external artists' work.
  • Powered by SYSTMS, the Prism 1.0 model generates outputs 84,000 times faster than traditional illustration workflows, with the company describing this framework as "Artistic Intelligence" designed to expand creative expression.
  • Doodles plans to produce the first feature-length animated film created entirely through its own AI systems, building on the success of the Pharrell Williams-executive produced animated special Dullsville and the Doodleverse.
  • Throughout 2026, the company will introduce prompt-to-image and image-to-video generation capabilities while refining outputs through supervised fine-tuning, enabling fans and brand partners to create content faithful to Doodles' original artistic vision.
