    Sad to see how Pixar has fallen, most likely thanks to Disney owning them

    Honestly I’m at the point where I’m more likely to “not miss” a Dreamworks or Illumination animation, rather than a Disney one

    The studio stressed the layoffs are not imminent, but will take place later this year as Pixar focuses on making less content.

    Nothin more motivating for staff than incoming layoffs.

    Also how does this not look like shooting themselves in the foot? Gut your content creators… to make your streaming more profitable? 🤔 ok
