Hailuo 2.3
The polar bear bounces twice on the platform, springs into the air and performs a surprisingly graceful forward somersault with its fur rippling, then hits the water in a gigantic belly-first splash that throws a wall of spray over the first rows. The camera tilts down with the fall like a broadcast replay. One continuous shot, realistic weight and water physics. No text.
Hailuo 2.3
The painting comes alive in ink-wash style. The koi flicks its tail and rings of grey ink ripple across the paper. It swims up the painted waterfall, leaps high out of the spray in a graceful arc, scattering drops of black ink and vermilion that bloom like petals across the paper, then dives back into the pool below. Slow push-in, one continuous shot, painterly brush texture throughout. No text.

MiniMax released Hailuo 2.3 in October 2025 as the follow-up to Hailuo 02. These are the gains it lists.
MiniMax says this version renders complex body movement with more fluidity, precision and control, which helps dance steps, fight moves, sports and quick turns.
Live-action faces and micro-expressions look more natural, MiniMax says: a held breath, a half smile, a glance away. Good for close-ups and character moments.
Stylized looks improved too: anime, illustration, ink wash painting and game CG. Add your artwork as the start frame and describe how it should move.
MiniMax cites near-photorealistic lighting direction, shadow transitions and color tones, plus a better response to motion commands for objects. Say plainly what moves and how.
The standard model makes silent 6 or 10 second clips at 768p, from text (16:9) or a start frame, in about 7 minutes. In a hurry? The Fast version animates a start frame in about 1.5 minutes for 8 credits. Need sound, 1080p or 15 seconds? MiniMax H3 Max, from the newer H3 generation, takes about 1 minute.

Credits per clip at the default length and resolution, without optional sound. Longer, sharper or with-sound clips cost more; the button shows the credits before you run.
Three steps, then a wait of about 7 minutes.
Describe who moves, what they do and how the camera follows. Add a start frame to animate a picture.
6 seconds is 12 credits and 10 seconds is 23. Make up to 4 clips per run; the credits on the button update as you go.
Hailuo 2.3 takes about 7 minutes, so start the run and do something else. Then play the clip, download the MP4, or loop it with video to GIF.
Four tips that play to this model's strengths.
Body movement is this model's strong point, so put it first and in order: a dancer spins twice, drops to one knee and looks up at the camera. Use plain verbs and say how fast things happen. One clear sequence per clip works better than a list of unrelated moves, especially in 6 seconds.
Choose a single move and name it: slow push in, orbit, tracking shot from the side, crane up. One clear instruction is easier for a video model to follow than three stacked ones, and it keeps the action readable. If the camera should stay put, write static camera, so only the subject moves.
For anime, ink wash painting, illustration or game CG, open the prompt with the style: hand-drawn anime style, a girl runs across a rooftop at sunset. Better still, add a start frame in that style so the model only has to move it. Text to video comes out in 16:9; a start frame keeps its own shape.
Clips from this model have no sound. Add music or a voice-over in your editor, or switch to MiniMax H3 Max when the shot needs built-in sound. For a short idea, turn on Enhance and our prompt helper expands it into a fuller prompt before the run; the version used is shown with the result.
Hailuo 2.3 suits shots where people or characters really move.
Dance clips, fight beats and sports moments with full body movement.
Bring anime frames, illustrations and ink paintings to life in their own style.
