A Very Long Carriage Ride (2025) The First AI Stop Motion Animated Feature Film in History!

A Very Long Carriage Ride is the first film in the history of cinema released in two different styles simultaneously: 2D classic animation and stop motion animation.

An aspiring socialite teams up with the town drunk on a journey to expose a scoundrel at his own wedding, navigating magical interference, mistaken identities, and her own conflicted heart.

Crafted entirely by a single filmmaker and made completely with AI tools, for only $2,000 ($1,000 per version), the film heralds the future of cinema where filmmaking is available to everyone, not only just the very few with means.

The dual release turns director-theorist Hooroo Jackson’s doctrine ‘The Living, Breathing Cinema’, outlined in his essay collection The New Machine Cinema: Foundations in AI Film Theory, into tangible reality, letting viewers choose the style that best sparks their imagination.
