Passport Rush

Passport Rush is a 4 minute 34 second animated short released on 25 September 2026 on the Higgsfield Animation YouTube channel, where it carries the title "Passport Rush | AI Animated Short Film | Higgsfield Originals (2026)". Higgsfield also lists it as one of its Originals on its own site, where a runtime of 4:48 is shown.

Higgsfield describes it as the first hybrid AI-animated short made with a Blender plus Higgsfield pipeline. By its account, the film combines handcrafted 2D storyboards and 3D Blender previs with AI animation made on the Higgsfield platform. The human work therefore covers the storyboards and the blocking of each scene, while the final animated frames are AI-generated.

The makers say the whole production is open: every storyboard, Blender scene and prompt is published, so that viewers can rebuild any shot themselves. A trade write-up from Complete AI Training, dated 27 September 2026, frames the release as an open-source reference for creative teams and educators who want to see how hand-drawn planning and 3D layout steer AI image synthesis. Higgsfield also published a separate breakdown video on how to animate a short film with Blender and Higgsfield.

The pages read name no director, writers, voice cast or composer, and name no specific AI model for the film: they say only that it was made with AI animation on Higgsfield. Reception on YouTube was large, with about 163,000 views by mid-October 2026, and the comments are mostly warm, with some viewers pointing to uneven animation in certain shots.
