What if I told you that the cartoon videos getting millions of views right now on YouTube and TikTok are not made by big animation studios?

What if I told you that even 12-year-old kids are creating them?

And what if I told you that I personally tested this method after upgrading to the advanced version of ChatGPT… and the results shocked me?

In this article, I’ll show you exactly how I’m using ChatGPT and Canva together to create cartoon videos that can be monetized on autopilot — even if you have zero animation skills.


Why Cartoon Videos Are Exploding Right Now

Cartoon storytelling channels are going viral across platforms like YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. These short animated stories are:

  • Easy to consume

  • Highly shareable

  • Perfect for kids and family audiences

  • Great for monetization

The best part? You don’t need expensive software like Adobe After Effects. You don’t need drawing skills. You don’t even need prior experience.

All you need is:

  • ChatGPT

  • Canva

  • A smart content strategy

And that’s exactly what I tested.

Step 1: Using ChatGPT to Generate a Kids Cartoon Story Script

After upgrading to the advanced version of ChatGPT, I decided to test something simple:

I asked it to write a short, engaging kids cartoon story.

Within seconds, I had:

  • A structured storyline

  • Clear characters

  • A moral lesson

  • Dialogue-ready narration

The ChatGPT version makes the script more creative, more structured, and better optimized for audience retention.

Pro Tip:
Ask ChatGPT to write:

  • A 60–90 second cartoon story

  • With emotional hooks

  • Simple language

  • A strong ending

This makes it perfect for YouTube Shorts monetization strategies.

Step 2: Turn the Script into Scene-by-Scene Prompts

Here’s where things get powerful.

Once the story was ready, I asked ChatGPT:

“Create detailed scene-by-scene visual prompts and matching voiceover text.”

And it generated:

  • Scene 1 description

  • Camera angle suggestions

  • Character actions

  • Background environment

  • Voiceover narration

This step is what most people skip.

But this is the secret.

Instead of guessing how your cartoon should look, ChatGPT literally designs the animation blueprint for you.

Step 3: Create Cartoon Scenes in Canva

Now comes the magic.

I copied the visual prompt and went to Canva’s AI image/video generator.

Here’s exactly what I did:

  1. Pasted the prompt

  2. Chose cartoon style

  3. Selected vertical 9:16 aspect ratio (perfect for Shorts)

  4. Clicked Generate

Within seconds, a cartoon scene appeared on my screen.

No drawing.
No animation skills.
No complex timeline editing.

Just prompt → generate → download.

I repeated the same process for every scene in the story.

Then I combined them in Canva’s editor according to the script sequence.

And just like that…

My full cartoon video was ready to post.

Why This Works for Monetization

Here’s the real opportunity.

These cartoon videos:

  • Get millions of views

  • Target a broad audience

  • Have high watch time

  • Work perfectly in YouTube Shorts

Once your channel meets YouTube monetization requirements, this can become semi-passive income.

You create:

  • 1 story

  • 5–10 scenes

  • 1 short video

Repeat daily.

That’s how creators scale.

Why the ChatGPT Makes a Huge Difference

After testing both versions, here’s what I noticed about the advanced ChatGPT:

  • Better storytelling flow

  • More creative character development

  • Smarter scene structuring

  • Stronger emotional hooks

That directly impacts:

  • Viewer retention

  • Watch time

  • Monetization potential

If your content holds attention longer, the algorithm favors it.

Simple as that.

The Full Process Summary

Let’s break it down clearly:

  1. Use ChatGPT to generate a kids cartoon script

  2. Ask it to create scene-by-scene visual prompts

  3. Paste prompts into Canva AI

  4. Generate each cartoon scene

  5. Combine scenes

  6. Add voiceover

  7. Post consistently

  8. Monetize

No animation degree.
No expensive software.
No production team.

Just AI + creativity.

Final Thoughts: Is This Worth Trying?

If you’re serious about YouTube automation, Shorts monetization, or AI content creation — this method is absolutely worth testing.

Especially if you’re targeting:

  • US audience

  • Indian audience

  • Family-friendly content niche

The barrier to entry has never been lower.

And honestly?

The fact that kids are already doing this tells you everything you need to know.
