AI Cartoon Video Generator: From Script to Cartoon
Type an idea or paste your script, then upload your own character drawings or let the AI draw the cast. The AI cartoon video generator writes the scenes, keeps every character looking the same from the first shot to the last, animates them and adds narration, lip-synced dialogue, music and captions — a finished cartoon video, not a pile of five-second clips.
- Free credits to try
- Your own characters
- Lip-synced dialogue
- Up to 15 minutes

Cartoon videos made with the AI cartoon video generator
Every film below came out of the generator from a script: narration, soundtrack and a cast that keeps its face for the whole story.
Human Curiosity · 1:30
Documentary-style narration over animated scenes — the format that usually needs a studio and a motion designer.
Jonah and the Fish · 1:28
A told story with a recurring cast, the case where a face changing between scenes ruins the whole thing.
Atlantis · 1:21
World-building no stock library carries, scored and narrated end to end.
Savannah Summer · 1:11
A story for children, where the hero has to still look like the hero on the last page.
My Best Friend Max · 0:37
A short character piece — two leads, several scenes, one continuous look.
Tom's Story · 0:34
The short-form cut: a complete beginning, middle and end inside half a minute.
What is an AI cartoon video generator?
An AI cartoon video generator turns words into an animated cartoon. You describe what happens; the AI writes or follows the script, splits it into scenes, draws each one in a cartoon style, animates it and puts the pieces together with a voice and a soundtrack. What used to take an animator, a voice actor and an editor takes one person and a few minutes of waiting.
Most AI video tools stop at a single shot of five to ten seconds. That is fine for a meme, but a story needs the same hero in scene one and scene twenty, and stitching clips by hand is where most people give up — the face changes, the jacket changes, the voice changes. ToonBee AI is built the other way round: it starts from the whole story and keeps the cast fixed across it.
So the ToonBee AI cartoon video generator suits anything told rather than shown in one shot: bedtime stories, children’s lessons, faceless YouTube channels, explainers and short series with a recurring cast.
How to make a cartoon video with AI
- 1
Write an idea or paste a script
One line is enough — “a shy penguin learns to swim” — and the AI writes the script. Already have one? Paste it and it is used word for word.
- 2
Pick the look and the length
Choose a cartoon style, the language, 16:9 for YouTube or 9:16 for Shorts and TikTok, and a length from 15 seconds up to 15 minutes.
- 3
Meet your characters
Attach drawings of your own characters as you write the story, or let the generator draw the cast from the script. Approve them once and each one is reused in every scene, which is what keeps the cartoon consistent.
- 4
Review the scenes, then animate
Look through the scene pictures, redraw any you dislike, choose which scenes move, add music and captions, and export the finished cartoon video.

Why use this AI cartoon video generator
The same character in every scene
Every character, drawn by the AI or uploaded by you, is fixed once and carried through the whole video, so no one changes face, hair or clothes between shots — the problem creators complain about most with AI cartoons.
Bring your own characters
Attach up to 5 drawings of your own characters, a brand mascot, the cast of an earlier episode, or a prop or place they keep coming back to, and let the AI draw up to 3 more, so one story has a whole cast rather than a single hero.
Characters that talk
Give your characters lines and they speak them on screen with lip sync, each in their own voice, with a narrator for the rest of the story if you want one.
From script to finished video
Scenes, narration, dialogue, music and captions come out as one cartoon video ready to upload. No clip-by-clip prompting and no separate editor.
Long videos in your style
Anything from a 15-second short to a 15-minute episode, in 74 art styles from classic comic and modern cartoon to 3D animated, anime and watercolor.
The price before you press
Every step shows its credit cost first. If a video fails, the animation credits come back automatically, so you do not pay for the generator’s mistakes.
What people make with an AI cartoon video generator
Kids’ stories and bedtime tales
Fables, animal adventures and stories with a moral, with a hero who still looks like the hero on the last page.
Faceless YouTube channels
Story, history and explainer channels in 16:9, or vertical cartoons for Shorts, Reels and TikTok in 9:16.
Lessons and explainers
Turn a lesson plan or a process into a narrated cartoon that a class will actually watch to the end.
Series with a recurring cast
Upload your characters once and keep them episode after episode, for a running series or a mascot that people learn to recognize.
Marketing stories
Product stories and animated ads in a cartoon style, without booking a studio. Videos are cleared for commercial use.
Personal stories
A family story, a birthday surprise or a short you have always wanted to see animated.
AI cartoon video generator vs other ways to make a cartoon
Three common routes to a cartoon video, and where each one fits.
| AI clip generators | ToonBee AI cartoon video generator | Template animation apps | |
|---|---|---|---|
| You start from | One prompt per shot | An idea or a whole script | A template you edit by hand |
| Length | 5–10 second clips | 15 seconds to 15 minutes | As long as you can build |
| Characters across scenes | Often drift between clips | Your drawings or AI-drawn, reused in every scene | Fixed library characters |
| Voices, dialogue, music | Usually added separately | Narration and lip-synced dialogue included | Added separately |
| Work for you | Prompt, download and stitch | Review scenes and approve | Place every element yourself |
Clip generators give the most control over a single shot; template apps suit simple explainers. For a told story with a recurring cast, generating the whole video saves the stitching.
Is the AI cartoon video generator free?
You can try it free: every new account gets free trial credits, with no subscription. Writing a script and planning the scenes cost very little; animation is what uses credits.
A narrated 30-second cartoon video is about 124 credits with still, illustrated scenes, or about 924 with every scene animated. You choose which scenes move, and every step, dialogue scenes included, shows its exact cost before you confirm.
Plans start at $39 a month for 5,000 credits, about 5 fully animated 30-second videos. Prefer not to subscribe? A one-time pack is $49 for 4,000 credits that never expire.
Good to know before you start
- A clear drawing of each character, with the face visible, gives every scene the best reference to follow.
- Each scene animates as a 5 to 15 second shot, so very fast action is told in more scenes rather than one long one.
- You choose which scenes move: still, illustrated scenes cost far less than animated ones.
- If an animation fails, its credits come back automatically.
AI cartoon video generator FAQ
Is there a free AI cartoon video generator?
Yes. Every new ToonBee AI account gets free trial credits, with no subscription needed, so you can make a cartoon video before deciding whether to pay. Plans and one-time credit packs are there when you need more.
Can I turn a script into a cartoon video?
Yes. Switch to “paste a script” and the generator follows your words exactly: it splits the script into scenes, narrates it, draws and animates each scene and adds music. Or type a one-line idea and let the AI write the script first.
How do I keep the same cartoon character in every scene?
Each main character is fixed once, before any scene, from your uploaded drawing or from a picture the generator draws, and that picture is the reference for every scene. You approve the cast first, so the hero in scene one is the hero in the last scene. A story can keep up to 5 of your own pictures and up to 3 AI-drawn main characters.
How long can an AI cartoon video be?
From 15 seconds up to 15 minutes. The script sets the length; longer stories are cut into more scenes, each animated as its own shot.
How much does it cost to make a cartoon video?
A narrated 30-second cartoon video costs about 124 credits with still scenes, or about 924 credits with every scene animated. The exact cost, dialogue scenes included, is shown before each step, and failed animations are refunded automatically.
Can I use my own character drawing?
Yes. Attach a drawing of each character as you write the story, name it and write @ and the name wherever it appears, and the generator uses it as that character in every scene, so your cartoon looks like your characters rather than the AI’s.
Can the cartoon characters talk?
Yes. Write lines for your characters and they speak them on screen with lip sync, each in their own voice, while a narrator can tell the rest. Narration comes in 17 languages, music comes from a free library or is composed for your story, and captions are added in the style you choose.
Is there a watermark, and can I use the videos commercially?
Videos have no watermark by default, and you can use the cartoon videos you make commercially, including on YouTube and in ads.
Can I make cartoon videos for kids or for YouTube?
Yes, both are common uses. Pick 16:9 for YouTube or 9:16 for Shorts and TikTok. For monetization, YouTube looks for original, non-repetitive videos, so write your own stories rather than repeating one template.
Do I need animation skills or software?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so there is nothing to install and no timeline to learn. If you can describe a story, you can make the cartoon.
Make your first cartoon video
Write one line or paste a script, bring your own characters if you have them — the AI cartoon video generator does the drawing, animation and voices.
