If Disney uses generative ai to animate large parts of their movie I’m pretty sure it will be copyrighted still, no? Or did I miss something?

I looked it up and unfortunately the ruling is a lot weaker than I initially thought. An artwork generated solely by ai cannot be copyrighted, however, there can be copyright on ai-generated works with a human author(?)¹
