History

2024: Pixar animation studio fires 20% of employees because it has fewer projects

On January 11, 2024, it became known that the American studio Pixar Animation Studios, owned by Walt Disney, is reducing the number of personnel. This is due, among other things, to a decrease in the number of projects.

According to TechCrunch, citing information received from knowledgeable sources, the layoffs will be significant and could amount to up to 20% of the state. Thus, the team of 1,300 employees will be reduced to about 1,000 people. It is noted that Pixar itself confirmed information about the upcoming organizational changes, but noted that these figures are "too high." The exact number of workers to be reduced will be determined based on how many employees are needed to implement projects already approved. In addition, the production schedule will be taken into account.

Pixar Animation Studios cuts headcount

The animation studio added that the layoffs will occur during 2024. In this situation, Pixar will focus on producing "less content." It is also known that the cuts will affect employees hired to create content for Disney +, a streaming service that does not make a profit as of early January 2024.

Reuters confirms Pixar is planning a reorganization. It is clarified that the animation studio has completed the production of some shows, and a number of employees who were involved in these projects are no longer in demand. Disney CEO Bob Iger made it clear that the company will reduce the amount of streaming content that it creates itself in an attempt to contain costs.
