Pixar’s first long-form original streaming series, “Win or Lose,” has been bumped to 2024. It was originally meant to premiere in December.
Disney just released the Disney+ listings for December and it’s not there. TheWrap had been hearing for a little while that it had been delayed until next year; this confirms it.
The series, created by Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates, focuses on a co-ed middle school softball team called the Pickles and the events leading up to their big championship game. Each episode focuses on a different player or parent and sees what the world is like through their eyes. Will Forte, Rosa Salazar and Milan Ray are among the voice cast. The series will consist of eight episodes.

Earlier Friday at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, before a screening of their new feature “Elemental,” Pixar unveiled an episode of “Win or Lose,” the first long-form streaming series from the legendary animation studio that’s set to debut on Disney+ this December. And the episode did much to ease fears that Pixar has somehow lost its touch; it is easily one of the most artful, exciting and emotionally incisive things the studio has done. And the wait for more episodes just became downright excruciating.
“Win or Lose,” originally announced during Disney’s investors’ day presentation in December 2020, hinges around an ingenious, incredibly identifiable concept – a middle school softball team is headed toward the championship and each 20-minute episode is told from the point of view of one of the players, their parents or the adults who play with them, like the umpire or coach (voiced by Will Forte...

The team behind “Coco” has a new coming-of-age tearjerker in the works for Pixar. “Elio,” the 28th animated feature from the legendary studio, is directed by Adrian Molina who wrote and co-helmed 2018 Oscar-winning film.
“Elio” is centered around the titular 11-year-old underdog (voiced by Yonas Kibreab), who has an active imagination and is beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from various galaxies. The official synopsis reads: Mistakenly identified as Earth’s ambassador to the rest of the universe, and completely unprepared for that kind of pressure, Elio must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, survive a series of formidable trials and somehow discover who he is truly meant to be.
America Ferrera voices Elio’s mother Olga, with Jameela Jamil and Brad Garrett cast as intergalactic ambassadors.
In addition to Molina, “Coco” associate producer Mary Alice Drumm also produces “Elio.”

Pixar might be known for its famous animated films, but it's a bit surprising that they hadn't yet dipped their toes into the world of animated television shows. That's about to change with "Win or Lose," the company's first-ever long-form animated series. /Film's own Ethan Anderton is on the ground at D23 and caught a sneak peek of Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates' new Disney+ series, and it certainly looks different than anything we've seen from them before.
"Win or Lose" isn't structured like a typical Pixar movie. The series will take place over the course of one week, centering around a middle school softball team called the Pickles as they rapidly approach the coveted championship game. Each episode is expected to follow one critical member of the Pickles and their insecurities as the game approaches, with two stories being showcased in particular. One is of the umpire, a teacher...

Pixar is returning to the world of Inside Out in the summer of 2024. The Disney-owned studio announced a sequel to the 2015 film Friday at D23 — and revealed an alien film titled Elio will arrive in 2024. The studio, which has sent several recent projects straight to Disney+, did not specify if these would be theatrical or streaming plays.
Inside Out is considered a high watermark for Pixar, a studio known for its crowd-pleasing films. The original earned glowing reviews and 857.6 million globally. It voice-starred Amy Poehler as Joy, one of six emotions belonging to 11-year-old Riley (Kaitlyn Dias) as she moved across the country with her family.
Poehler revealed at D23 that Riley will be a teenager in the follow-up and hinted at new emotions to be included, but did not reveal who they would be voiced by. Writer-director Pete Docter’s film also...
