The Walt Disney Company has unleashed a fresh bloodbath across its entertainment empire, with Pixar taking a major hit despite the blockbuster success of “Toy Story 5.”
The “Mouse House” announced several hundred layoffs Tuesday in its third round of cuts this year, affecting Disney Entertainment Television, ESPN, corporate divisions and Disney Studios, according to SFist.
Pixar’s Emeryville animation studio was hit hardest within the film division. Disney has not confirmed how many Pixar workers lost their jobs, but a source told TheWrap that roughly 116 employees were laid off.
Many of the Pixar cuts were concentrated in production and operations and reflected the studio’s current slate of projects rather than any single movie’s performance.
“These changes are part of our continual evaluation of how we manage resources and reinvest across the company as our industry continues to evolve,” a Disney spokesperson told the outlet.
The latest cuts come despite “Toy Story 5” delivering a massive box office debut after hitting theaters June 19.
The recent installment in the animated franchise raked in an estimated $312 million worldwide during its opening weekend, including a franchise-record $160 million domestically.
Pixar’s recent original movies, however, have produced more mixed results at the box office.
“Elio” posted the weakest opening weekend in the studio’s history, while “Hoppers” earned stronger reviews and better ticket sales but still fell short of Pixar’s established franchises’ commercial success.
The Emeryville studio has already endured repeated rounds of job cuts.
Pixar eliminated about 175 employees, or roughly 14% of its workforce, in 2024 after cutting another 75 positions the previous year as Disney shifted away from prioritizing streaming content and refocused on theatrical releases.

Hey, I have an idea to fix Disney! 1. Let’s make more woke / transgender pushing movies, and 2. let’s make every mustached Disney guy in a dress greet little kids everywhere!! We’ll be rich!!! 🤑
Anyway, a perfect ending ...
That’s what happens when you make a bunch of woke DEI garbage.
Shouldn’t there be 7 Dwarfs?
Say a prayer that the federal and state workforce are hit for their corruption and treason.
Oh?
sell Star wars back to lucas for pennies on the dollar.
Not really since she’s now married to “Prince Charming” and you see how that’s going ... :D
Out of their rectums? Like the DUDE running for candidate as an hideously ugly woman.
Over the past five years Disney stock is down about 40% while the S&P 500 is up about 70%.
When it comes to profitability, Disney doesn't fool around. They kept the division going for ten years, losing money every year.
Finally, they decided to staunch the hemorrhaging of red ink.
After I left, Disney shut down the entire division, laying off ~900 employees at once.
😆😂🤣
Walt might actually like this news.
Disney lost it’s magic a long time ago.
Any pedophiles being fired?
Life is like a shit sandwich
The more bread you have
The less shit you have to eat
‘go woke, go broke Disney is part of the evil empire
Disney has discovered that they can have AI make animated feature films without all the HR mess.......................
Now that animation can so easily be done by AI, Disney will have to reckon with the primary sourced of their past success—family-friendliness and family-safe, family-affordable entertainment parks and cruises.
AI cannot produce love, nor Godly values. Those were American’s gifts to Walt Disney, and Walt Disney’s gifts to several generations. More recent leaders of Disney corporation have killed the golden goose.
