Animators Report 'Death by a Thousand Cuts' Making 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse'

Crew members attribute the film's success to unsustainable working conditions that caused around 100 artists to leave before completion.
Producer Phil Lord allegedly made endless changes that led to delays, wasted work, and low morale.
There are multiple versions of the film in theaters due to last-minute edits and fixes.
The sequel 'Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse' is reportedly behind schedule and may be delayed until 2026.
Sony disputes claims of poor conditions but does not deny the sequel will miss its planned release date.
