Pixar<\/ins><\/a> is losing around 175 of its workers amid a Disney<\/ins><\/a> cost-cutting drive. It was reported as far back as January that layoffs were planned for the digital animation pioneer and the studio's headcount is being reduced by around 14 percent.<\/p>\n

According to The Guardian<\/ins><\/em><\/a>, the downsizing is part of moves to scale back on development of original shows and movies for Disney+<\/ins><\/a> as the company tries to make its streaming division more profitable<\/a>. As such, Pixar is expected to once again focus entirely on making theatrical feature films.<\/p>\n

Although it was once an ultra-reliable hit factory, Pixar has had a rough go of things over the last few years. Disney has suggested it was a mistake to have "trained" viewers<\/ins><\/a> to expect that Pixar movies will eventually come to Disney+ (where it debuted <\/ins>Soul<\/ins><\/em>, <\/ins>Luca <\/ins><\/em>and <\/ins>Turning Red<\/ins><\/em><\/a> after Covid-19 prompted theater closures). That may have played a role in Toy Story spin-off Lightyear<\/ins><\/em><\/a><\/em>failing to meet box office expectations. While last year\u2019s Elemental <\/em>became a word-of-mouth hit after a slow start, it ultimately earned far less than many of previous Pixar smashes.<\/p>\n

Pixar will be hoping it can start to turn the corner next month when it releases Inside Out 2,<\/em> the sequel to one of its very best films. Disney\u2019s animated division as a whole is focusing more on franchises<\/ins><\/a> \u2014 Toy Story, Frozen, Zootopia and Moana sequels are all set to arrive over the next few years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
