Pixar's Win or Lose: A Game-Changing Animated Series Set to Premiere on Disney Plus

Pixar is set to unveil its latest venture, a fully original series that marks a significant shift from their typical film releases. Scheduled for its debut next month on Disney Plus, Win or Lose promises to capture viewers’ attention with its unique storytelling approach. Following closely on the heels of trailers for major projects like Daredevil Born Again, the excitement builds as the release date of February 19 approaches.

The series offers an intriguing concept centered around a children's baseball game, presented from the viewpoints of eight distinct characters. What makes this series particularly captivating is the diverse animation styles employed, with some narratives depicted in traditional 2D animation.

This project has been in the news lately, mainly due to the controversy surrounding a scene that included a transgender character, which was ultimately removed. Following public outcry, an animator took to social media to share the complete sequence in storyboard form, igniting discussions among fans.

While Pixar has previously dipped its toes in television, Win or Lose stands out as a significant milestone. Unlike short episodes produced by Dream Productions or the series Monsters at Work, which was not directly handled by Pixar, this new release is poised to be the company’s next major undertaking following the anticipated films Inside Out 2 and Elio, slated for June.
