Disney’s third round of layoffs under CEO Josh D’Amaro hits Pixar as the animation studio shifts to a “long and lean” production model, capping labor at about 16,500 person‑weeks per project and cutting hundreds of jobs—even as Pixar’s 2026 releases, including Toy Story 5 (which has already earned around $958 million globally) and Hoppers, perform strongly at the box office.
Disney's new CEO Josh D’Amaro outlined a three-pillar strategy built on investing in enduring IP, building a single, digitally integrated “One Disney” ecosystem, and aggressively deploying AI to power storytelling and monetization. The plan signals continued cost pressures from high-franchise production and sports rights, with potential layoffs to streamline operations, while ESPN remains central to the long-term strategy. The market responded positively to the clarity, but profitability now hinges on turning cross-platform IP into sustained growth across Disney’s brands and platforms.
