MiniMax Hailuo

Text-to-videoImage-to-videoAvailable on MCP

Expressive, stylized motion — personality over perfect realism.

Hailuo shines when the clip should feel energetic, animated, or character-forward rather than documentary-flat. Great for meme-adjacent promos, stylized explainers, and concepts where motion exaggeration helps.

Reach for something else when
