Disney Cuts Trans Storyline From Pixar’s ‘Win or Lose’ Series: ‘Many Parents Would Prefer to Discuss Certain Subjects on Their Own Terms’

“Win or Lose,” the first-ever long-form series from Pixar, was originally set to feature a transgender storyline that ended up being cut by Disney, Variety has learned.

Debuting in 2025, “Win or Lose” will follow the members of a co-ed middle school softball team as they gear up for their championship game. Each episode follows a different character, and the show is intended to focus on varied perspectives — including “the insecure kids, their helicopter parents, even a lovesick umpire” per the official logline — but a trans perspective will no longer be highlighted. A source tells Variety that references to one of the characters’ gender identity was removed, affecting a few lines of dialogue in the show’s later episodes.

“When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline,” said a spokesperson for Disney.

Read that, but the trans character is still in it. They're just not going to "highlight" it, whatever the f**k that means.

I’ll bet Walt Dizzy is praying the electricity dies on his cryogenic chamber.

They're gonna sneak it in the back door, so to speak :ack:

Reminds me of hat happened on the Jungle Cruise at WDW a few months ago. Young black dude was the boat skipper and telling the jokes. Buncha families with young kids on the ride and we pass a scene that had to do with the apes. I remember it because the joke was something like, "If I'm not good enough for his son then blah blah blah." The kid rammed his homo lifestyle right into everyone's faces.

Best thing I saw that day was a few families get off and start bitching at the ride manager for that. So far, I haven't heard any more gay references since that. It may a coincidence, but I'd like to think it was a direct result of the parents' actions.
