Disney is laying off 14% of Pixar's workforce

[John Elden Ring]

The long-expected layoffs at Pixar Animation Studios have begun.


Today, leadership at the storied company that traces it origins to the late Steve Jobs and was bought by Disney in 2006 will notify employees of the reductions, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. It is the biggest restructuring in Pixar’s history, although top leadership isn’t impacted.


Approximately 14 percent of Pixar’s workforce, or around 175 employees, will be let go. Before the reductions, approximately 1,300 people worked at the animation studio.

Disney has laid off roughly 14% of Pixar in the biggest workforce reduction in the company's history.

"Top leadership is unaffected".
