Only one man can save Pixar

>>149226685 (OP)
He ain't coming back after being fired from Disney for bullshit reasons twice. Pixar had its time, it's okay to let it die.

Where the allegations even real? Supposedly guy was kissing and hugging his staff. Unless there's more to the story than that that's an incredibly retarded to accuse some of sexual harassment.

fpbp

>>149226729
He was a man in a management position being touchy/feely during a time when all women were on edge due to the metoo movement and social media witchhunts being at their peak. His firing coincided with the entire company steering into the "woke" direction. It was just a sign of the times. Keep in mind James Gunn got fired as well for similarly weak reasons.

>>149226699
But he could save it if they let him back in.

C'mon, give him a hug!

>>149226729
His crime was breathing while being fat and bald.

Luck fucking sucked, and whatever Skydance’s latest movie was called sucked too.
The only way any of the animation industry gets saved is if they hire exclusively people who haven’t lived in California their entire lives and actually wanna tell stories about things other than their own personal traumas.

>>149226763
Pixar ain't being saved, in a few years it'll be merged into Disney Animation. Which is fine, there's zero difference in quality or style in the output being done at Disney and Pixar these days anyway.

>>149226758
I basically agree with you, but I'd say it was even more sinister than that. The ringleaders of the campaign to oust him were rivals who disagreed with his leadership ideologically; making the company more "woke", and its artistic output worse, wasn't a coincidence but rather the goal.

>>149226758
John’s specific words were
>I especially want to apologize to anyone who has ever been on the receiving end of an unwanted hug or any other gesture they felt crossed the line in any way, shape, or form. No matter how benign my intent, everyone has the right to set their own boundaries and have them respected.
Bro was made to apologize for hugging.

Woke destroyed Disney and Disney knows it.

>>149226685 (OP)
Yeah, I kinda miss him too despite how soulless the Cars franchise is.

H-he's hugging me too long!

Real talk: is there possibly a level of "fuck it" Disney could hit that would make them rehire Lassetter? Or are they basically just purely staffed with ideologues these days that are content to go down with the ship of Woke?

>>149226930
Disney would probably love to rehire him. He would never work with them again, though.

>>149226944
What if they paid him a LOT of money? Like how Alfred Molina didn't want to play Doc Ock again until Disney threw eight figures at him.

>>149226973
Maybe, but I'd hope the guy has more respect for himself to do that.

>>149226930
Another big studio may take him, see James Gunn. Disney wouldn’t. Pixar would be especially opposed considering their current echelon are the ones who ousted him.

>>149226685 (OP)
He's not making anything successful so far. Luck and Spellbound are both shitty failures.

And I doubt their Jack and the Beanstalk movie will rescue Lassetter and Skydance Animation. Face it, Lassetter is simply an old man who lost his talent and used up all his good ideas many decades ago. He's all out of fuel in the tank. The man is merely working to reach retirement and die off. He's FINISHED!!!

Disney got the best deal, they copyright owned Lassetter's most successful ideas and have many incoming decades to exclusively milk them while he dies off in a failing Skydance animation studio.

Lasseter is washed. Everything Skydance has put out has sucked egregiously, I can't even believe he'd put his name on any of this shit.

>>149226775
They also need to be conservative and not shitty Liberals into Women's Rights, Diversity, and homosexual trash.

>>149226729
I think he's just and overly friendly albeit touchy guy.
Look at this part of a DVD featurette he's in, he doesn't hesitate to touch the legs/thighs of 2 fully grown men in a jokey manner.

>>149227052
can confirm as someone who has actually met the guy. He's just really, really, really jolly.

>>149226789
More like Pixar will be liquidated and closed down. And frankly once that happens we will see the continued evolution of ai in animation something ALL companies want to use not just Disney.

So that's really the future. And the worst part is all the idiots with bad ideas for movies.

>>149227039
This. He's the John K of CGI. Just because he made some good stuff in the past doesn't change his modern output has stagnated into trash.

>>149226837
Not woke but Jews. Jews infiltrated Disney and started to inject venom into the company cheapening and damaging the brand. And yes even Eisner is guilty since he spammed Disney Cheap Sequels which did tarnish a lot of classics. Iger was merely a worse version. All of them Jews and whoever replaces them will be Jewish and will continue killing Disney.

Jews killed Disney and the United States. And many idiots are too slow to notice this.

>>149226930
Disney is satisfied because they still have a LOT of live action remakes to bank on before they ever run into trouble and by then Iger will be long gone. That will be a problem for a different Jew to deal with.

But Disney has nothing to really worry about they are fine and their damn theme park is still not failing enough. Only reason this Summer is lousy is the economy is generally bad. And Universal opened their new Epic Universe so naturally Disney takes a hit this year. But in general their theme park is not failing. Disney is not even close to being in trouble even if Star Wars and Marvel continue failing.

>>149227069
All of animation will be 'closed down', technically. But they'll continue to release animated features with the Disney brand name, only it'll largely be AI slop. But it's okay because most normies probably won't even notice the difference in quality.

>>149227092
>And yes even Eisner is guilty
While Eisner wasn't Jewish he did marry a jew.

>>149226998
They have no leg to stand on their incoming movie looks like another stinking failure, Hoppers story of a stupid girl who puts her mind inside a beaver robot and realizes animals intentionally role play their natural roles like a herbivore intentionally allowing a carnivore to kill and eat them........that is STUPID!!! So in nature seeing a herbivore gored and eaten by a carnivore this is all an intentionally realistic role play? This is moronic. This is too dumb for words.

>>149226930
Firing him for groping was just an excuse to get rid of him after Cars 2 and "Chris Sanders going to Dreamworks and making HTTYD" and other things started giving them buyers remorse over putting him in charge of everything.

>>149226685 (OP)
What's with the deleted posts?

>>149229678
Some assclown was being racist.

>>149226685 (OP)

He hated Disney TVA so nope

>>149229686
But never a liar. Jews are shit and they killed Disney and the United States!

>>149229775
>they killed Disney

He has lost it
