Agreed. Just yesterday, I recreated the XKCD comic “A Bunch of Rocks” (https://xkcd.com/505/) as a video. It took me about five hours, using ElevenLabs for the audio and a step-by-step process involving brainstorming, planning, storyboarding, and so on. Opus 5.5 has become remarkably capable.

Interesting. Bit odd that the head doesn't occlude the background (it's a circle, not a disk), and not sure about the title font.

The drawing/animation style feels suitably off from xkcd - more naive stick figure, than what xkcd looks like?

Some speed/timing issues with the walk cycles.

For all that - mind-blowing that it's generated so quickly.
