Lol no. Maybe this had some weight pre Inside Out 2 but it doesn't anymore.

Apparently, someone is claiming that Pixar is in danger of ceasing to exist entirely:

Do you agree with this? Why or why not?

If Pixar gets shut down, it will just get shut down. Just like Blue Sky studios. None of this weird ILM stuff. And then what would happen to the old Pixar IP?

So no, I don't think anything like this is happening. Inside Out 2 is too big of a success for shutting down the studio. As for whether or not there will be outsourcing at Pixar in the future.... IDK.

In other words the person saying this stuff has no idea what they're talking about and is full of shit.

 

What reddit thread was this from?

This is so stupid lol

 

Pixar still has most prestige than pretty much any studio in the world, and easily get awards. 
 

IO2 is a phenomenon Disney themselves never managed to pull it off. Even the very discussed Elemental is the biggest original animation of the decade so far.

Somebody on  Reddit is talking out of their ass and has no ideas what they are talking about. GTFO.

There is no way Disney is gonna shut Pixar down cuz they would definitely make a fourth even fifth Cars movie at any cost. It’s their biggest animation franchise. Bigger than Frozen or Toy Story.

Well, at least that part of argument is settled. There is also someone else who is keep claiming that Pixar is about to rely heavily on outsourcing based on the interview that Bob Iger gave out:

 

Quote

1. They do their animation mostly in France and Canada; cheaper labor + tax rebates. I'm sure some of it is done domestically "Glendale", but most of it is so.

2. Inside Out 2 was one movie, the business model has to adjust; Iger said somewhere that Disney will follow suit "I can't recall the source".

Quote

1- Inside Out 2 box office performance is irrelevant; huge cost cuts are blatantly feasible; not pursuing them is poor corporate governance.

2-According to Pixar's president, Pixar and Disney animation are the only two studios doing animation domestically under one roof. Their budgets include overhead and executive salaries.

3-One hallmark of all earnings calls for the last few years had been cost cuts and how the company keeps raising their target for cost cutting.

Do you agree with these claims? Why or why not? And what did Iger actually say?

[AniNate]

"I can't recall the source"

 

These arguments are dumb enough on reddit, why are you needlessly bringing this up here? When an old thread is bumped you ought to have some legit interesting news to share and not just some random anon on Reddit 's speculation.

[ThomasNicole]

“Inside Out 2 being the biggest animation ever and the 8th biggest box office of all time doesn’t matter”

 

We really need to stop bringing whatever nonsense Reddit says in here

[Ryan C]

"Inside Out 2 becomes the highest-grossing animated film of all-time"

 

Disney: Hey, let's just shut down Pixar! Nothing bad will come from this at all. 

 

I know companies will do anything to save even the tinest bit of money possible, but Disney is not gonna shutter a studio that has made them billions upon billions of dollars (including being one of the few things that kept them alive in the 2000s while Disney's own animation studio was in a slump). 

 

It might sound like an exaggeration, but shutting down Pixar would be the equivalent of shutting down Marvel. People would be fuming with rage and anger at Disney and their PR would be 1000 times worse than how it was during the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

 

It's not something people are ever gonna forgive them for if that happens.

Well, the argument that he/she was coming up with or implying was that Pixar is about to go through what DreamWorks went through and rely heavily if not entirely on outsourcing and even used one of Iger’s interviews about budget management as a proof of that.

[AniNate]

There is absolutely no reason to assume that. Pixar is nowhere near in the same boat Dreamworks was and the whole Pixar brand is intrinsically tied to their Emeryville campus. It's hallowed ground for Disney in a way Glendale never was for Dreamworks or their distribution partners.
