Pixar’s Dark Secrets: Inside Out 2’s Harsh Work Culture & Disney’s Blame Game

Inside Out 2 was an absolute success in every way, from grossing over 1.5 billion dollars and starring A List actors such as Amy Poehler, Maya Hawke, Tony Hale, Lewis Black, Ayo Edebiri, and Phyllis Smith,

But the cost of its success goes beyond the box office in recent allegations from an article from IGN. This video delves into the behind-the-scenes struggles that the animators and employees at Pixar faced during the production of the film. From poor management to heavy layoffs, the article I break down reveals a toxic work environment, with long hours and crunch time, all while Pete Docter and Pixar seem to continue their mismanagement heading into their next project, Elio.

Despite Inside Out 2’s massive success, Pixar shockingly laid off numerous employees, preventing them from receiving their bonus simply because they were no longer on the payroll. This not only hurt the workers who helped bring the film to life, but raises concerns about Pixar’s future and the handling of its workforce.

The video also tackles Disney’s claim that Lightyear failed financially because of a controversial same-sex kiss, when in reality, it’s more likely Disney’s own strategy of releasing Pixar’s recent films on Disney+ that conditioned their audience to stay home.

Pixar’s legacy is being tarnished by these internal issues, and in this video, I explore how the company, once a giant in animation, is now facing a crossroads. Will they learn from these mistakes, or are we witnessing the downfall of a beloved studio?
