About Toon3D and whether AI could let fans rewatch cartoons from new perspectives.

Not if it looks anything like this... Honestly I'd be surprised if AI could do it justice. In a shot showing one character talking, panning around to see the other characters that AI pasted into the scene wouldn't be enough. Those characters would also have to be animated and show appropriate attention/reactions to what was being said/going on.

AI re-renders a cartoon shot from a new angle, with the other characters animated and reacting appropriately.
