Pixar Animation Studios, a wholly owned subsidiary of Walt Disney Studios, is headquartered in the US. Founded in 1986 and employing approximately 3500 individuals, the company reported $700.0M in revenue as of 2024. It operates as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company specializes in media managed services, functioning as an animation-based studio, VFX, and production company.
On March 8, 2026, Pete Docter, Pixar's chief creative officer, explained that the studio removed an LGBTQ storyline from its 2025 animated film *Elio* during a project overhaul. Docter cited a decision to scale back elements potentially difficult for younger audiences to process without parental guidance, as reported by Variety. Docter also told The Wall Street Journal that Pixar is fundamentally changing its creative direction, moving away from personal themes to focus on quality cinema after learning from recent failures. This follows his earlier statement, emphasizing that Pixar is "making a movie not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy," a remark reflecting a broader shift at the studio concerning *Elio*. On March 7, 2026, Docter had previously elaborated on the decision to cut LGBTQ themes from *Elio*, stating that the company did not want the film to compel parents into discussions they were unprepared to have with their children.
