AI-generated pet movies are becoming a popular trend on video platforms like YouTube and TikTok, attracting hundreds of millions of views with emotional and humorous storylines.
For example, in one video, an orange cat comes from a poor background and is mocked by a white cat couple. The 59-second video recounts the orange cat’s journey of “overcoming poverty”, from working as a construction worker, cleaning windows to becoming a rich cat, shocking those who used to laugh at him. The video went viral in April and has so far attracted nearly 150 million views.

The man behind this video is Ansheng from China. He owns several AI cat video channels, two of which have over 1 million subscribers, and several others with half a million followers. The success of these clips has helped him earn a pretty good income.
Sharing with the media, he revealed that he earns from 1,200 to 2,000 NDT (4.3 to 7.2 million VND) for each video reaching more than 10 million views. Thus, his monthly income is estimated at 20,000 NDT (more than 72 million VND).
Ansheng started posting videos on foreign video platforms after realizing his income was limited by sticking to domestic apps. “On domestic platforms, I only earned 50 yuan for every 8 million views, so I switched to international platforms.”
Video production is fast and efficient. Ansheng says it costs less than 50 yuan ($7.9) a month using AI tools. He makes about two to three videos a day. He doesn’t even write new scripts, just tweaks existing ones.
In one of his most popular videos, with 16 million views, he reused the orange cat script but changed the character to Princess Elsa, and the villains to Snow White and Wonder Woman.
Similar AI content is also flooding in China, where creators are combining cartoon characters with familiar drama scripts.
For example, a poor Bichon Frise discovers that she is of royal descent. She is made fun of at the palace until a dog prince comes to her rescue.
Such steamy scenarios have a loyal following thanks to their emotional appeal and happy endings. The content also cleverly incorporates advertisements for products for dogs, cats and humans, from shampoo to sausages.
Lathang, who runs a dog drama channel, said personalized pet characters make it easier to promote products. Ansheng agreed, saying: “People don’t identify with cats and dogs, but with the emotions they evoke.”
