Inside Out 2 Was the Hit Pixar Needed, but the Laid-Off Employees Who Crunched on It Are Still Hurting - IGN

jesus fuck, this article

A stock image of Mike Wazowski holding up a thumbs up. Impact font is placed over it, reading: "Cool. I hope Toy Story 5 is the biggest flop Disney's ever seen and we start hunting executives for sport."ALT

My “favorite” parts from the article:

  1. The same day that Pixar laid off the staff who’d been in crunch mode since September 2023, they announced the crunch-bonuses would only be paid to active employees
  2. There was a dedicated Inside Out 2 team tasked with “making Riley not look gay”

“It is, as far as I know, still a thing, where leadership, they’ll bring up Lightyear specifically and say, ‘Oh, Lightyear was a financial failure because it had a queer kiss in it,’” one source tells IGN. “That’s not the reason the movie failed.”

makes bland slop movie using a character from the disney library but none of his expanded universe trappings that might fuel nostalgia, blames the gay kiss they threw in there to scapegoat instead of the fact that it was a bland slop movie
