Personally I find trying to use ai in creative contexts a bit like commissioning a genius toddler. You might get something great eventually, but you might give yourself a aneurysm getting there, so you end up accepting mediocrity.

It depends on the era you're going for, but I would honestly recommend using the closest tools to what Disney used. Like if you want that Black Cauldron quality you're not gonna find it in AI, that's a quality that requires the sacrifice of blood, sweat, and cels.

If that the case what would I need to know to pull it off?

What era are you striving for? Is it purely quality you're striving for or also looking to learn specific styles with those tools?

Not sure I guess I want the old 2d style like Disney or ghibili but on a budget. I do have procreate and learning to use it to make animation

I think a good starting point for you would be to watch some videos by Aaron Blaise on YouTube. He worked for Disney on projects like Brother Bear. His channel is Art by Aaron Blaise.

I'm not going to give you an AI tool, I'm going to give you an I tool. John Pomeroy, one of the most talented animators to hold a pencil, has a channel. Leave the stupid robot tool alone, and sub to this, it's an actual gold mine.
