\n\tThe Maya and the Three<\/em> and The Book of Life<\/em> director wrote on social media on Friday that he was dropping out of a Punky Duck<\/em> series that had been announced at Amazon\u2019s AI on the Lot event just two days earlier. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI have decided to drop out of the AI program at Amazon. I will not be making a Punky Duck series. Actions speak louder than words,\u201d the filmmaker wrote on social media. \u201cMy intent was to showcase artists, both new and seasoned, both inside and outside the studios, driving this new tech. My sincerest apology to those I upset. I promise to do better moving forward. Thank you for your patience with me. I will try harder.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe Hollywood Reporter<\/em> has reached out to Amazon for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tA boldfaced name in animation, Gutierrez was the highest-profile director associated with a project emerging from Amazon\u2019s new GenAI Creators Fund. His Punky Duck<\/em> series was set to follow \u201ca lovable punk duck and his best friend, Smiley Cat\u201d as they \u201ctear through a wildly exaggerated Los Angeles, hilariously stumbling into alien invasions, giant monsters, robot criminal conspiracies, telenovela-style family drama, and supernatural mayhem\u2014all while trying (and usually failing) to do the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHis remarks follow criticism from another creator whose work was announced in association with the initiative. On Wednesday, the creator of the star of Buzzfeed Studios\u2019 Good Advice Cupcake<\/em> slammed the company for partnering with Amazon on a generative AI series adaptation of her creation. Loryn Brantz said she was \u201chorrified and disgusted by BuzzFeed taking my character, The Good Advice Cupcake, and giving it to an AI platform.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
