🦔 How I Created a Viral Cartoon Video Using Just AI (In Minutes!)

Cartoon videos are blowing up online—some creators are making millions just by posting short animations. So I decided to jump in and make one myself. But here’s the twist: I used only AI tools—and it took just a few minutes.

Let me walk you through exactly how I did it 👇

✍️ Step 1: Let ChatGPT Write the Story

I started by asking ChatGPT:
“Create an emotional and adorable story about a cute cartoon hedgehog.”
Within seconds, it gave me a full heartwarming script about a tiny hedgehog named Hazel who wants to find her place in the world. It was pure gold.

Then I told ChatGPT:
“Give me a catchy image caption for each scene.”
It broke the story into visual scenes with detailed prompts—perfect for image generation.

🖼️ Step 2: Generate the Images with Luma Labs

I took each image caption and went to Luma Labs.
There’s an “Image” tab where you paste your prompt. Click Generate—and boom—beautiful cartoon-style images start rolling in.

After each image is ready, just click Generate Video and it stitches the visuals into a smooth animation. Do this for all your scenes.

🎙️ Step 3: Add the Voiceover with ElevenLabs

To bring it all to life, I headed to ElevenLabs.
I copied the story from ChatGPT, pasted it into ElevenLabs, and selected a natural-sounding AI voice. In seconds, I had the perfect voiceover for Hazel’s journey.

🎬 Step 4: Sync It All Together

Using any basic video editor, I arranged the cartoon clips in order and matched them with the voiceover timing.

And just like that, my fully AI-generated cartoon was ready to post.

This entire project—from concept to finished video—was done with zero drawing skills and no advanced tools. Just a few free websites, a little creativity, and the power of AI.

If you’ve ever wanted to create your own animation, there’s never been an easier time to start.
