Pixar will lay off 175 employees, or 14 percent

1. Pixar will lay off 175 employees, or 14 percent of all employees, on May 21, 2024. In fact, the restructuring of Pixar has not happened once or twice. Pixar has had a hard time. But the nature of this layoff is a little different. This is because most of them are related to Disney Plus.

2. Pixar has reaffirmed its vision of creating animation for theaters. Theater use does not mean just insisting on showing theaters. This is because it is not a matter of quality, not of Windows, whether it is for theater or streaming.

3. From the creator's point of view, it is difficult to pursue the best quality for streaming. Pixar had a similar dilemma in its early days. Originally, Toy Story 2 was designed for video, not theater. Because Disney, a distribution investment company, wanted it. Instead, the right quality was enough.

4. Pixar employees did not know that they would work in moderation. It was Pixar who persuaded Disney to change it to a theater, and it was Pixar who said that this was enough that he would make it all over again. But Disney Plus was not good enough for Pixar. For Pixar, it was enough to choose the next lane instead of the best.

5. The content business doesn't mean it's going to be the best, but it does get the worst quickly if it's not the best every time. Consumers ghostly notice it. These are what Pixar went through during the dark ages of five years.
