Major Pixar Layoffs, Long-Expected, Now Underway In Restructuring (Exclusive)

Roughly 14 percent of the workforce is cut as part of Disney's company-wide cost-cutting measures. The move is the biggest reduction in Pixar's history.

The move, less than reported 20%, was delayed because of production schedules & studio not focusing on direct-to-streaming series but on its films.

    Man, their run from the 90s to the end of the 2000s is absolutely incredible. Even films like A Bug’s Life and Cars are pretty great. It’s a pity that since then outside of a few films (Inside Out is a personal favourite) it’s been a very uneven filmography at best. I think their decline a few years after Disney’s purchase is very disappointing.

      Disappointing but expected. Being visionary isn’t Disney’s strong suit.

    If Elon Musk ran Disney, he would have laid off all of Pixar, then tried to rehire them after half of them were hired by DreamWorks.
