"Billion dollar company can't afford real art? Embarrassing," @mothcrayon commented. 

"The second you notice this is AI all the mistakes become blatantly obvious. It’s a shame a creative company like Disney would stoop this low," @flight1401 commented. 

"AI generated image??? Really??? You? the WALT DISNEY CORPORATION could not PAY an artist to make this??????" @woolblossoms commented. 

This is not the first time that Disney has been called out for using AI. 

Disney was heavily criticized for having used AI-generated background actors in their film "Prom Act."
