- Adobe and Disney will jointly develop private generative AI models for theme parks, studios and sports media.
- Firefly Foundry will use Disney intellectual property to produce operational creative outputs.
- Disney says the tools can compress creative development from months to hours and days.
Adobe stock traded at 210.95 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 13:15:36 CET on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, 0.38 percent below the Xetra close of Monday, November 9. The move came as Adobe and Disney announced a multi-year agreement to develop custom generative artificial intelligence models for Disney's theme parks, studios and sports businesses.
The Indian Express, citing Reuters, reported on Tuesday that the partnership was announced Monday. Adobe will use Firefly Foundry to help Disney build models trained on Disney intellectual property. The models will remain private and proprietary to Disney.
Enterprise use moves beyond design
The first applications will target Disney Experiences, which includes theme parks, resorts and cruise lines, as well as StudioLAB at Walt Disney Studios. Adobe will also work with Disney on tools intended to increase engagement with sports fans at ESPN and bring more of ESPN's archive to audiences.
The agreement gives Adobe another enterprise use case for Firefly Foundry at a time when investors are weighing whether its artificial intelligence investments can translate into durable growth. The partnership does not disclose financial terms, expected revenue or a launch timetable, so its direct earnings impact cannot yet be quantified.
Disney's research and development technology chief Kyle Laughlin said the tools can accelerate creative work that previously took months into work completed in hours and days. Disney Imagineering has already deployed a custom image-generation model and a sketch-to-image model for concept development. Laughlin said the technology is intended to speed creative development rather than replace Imagineering roles.
December results remain the next test
For Adobe investors, the deal adds a strategic signal ahead of the company's fiscal fourth-quarter results, expected after the market close on December 9. The report will be watched alongside the transition to incoming chief executive Anil Chakravarthy on December 1 and the debate over AI monetization, subscription growth and pricing power.
