Pixar's First Original Series 'Win or Lose' Debuts February 19 on Disney+

The animated series explores the perspectives of eight characters preparing for a softball championship, with a unique mixed-media style and emotional themes.

  • Win or Lose marks Pixar's first original TV series, focusing on a co-ed middle school softball team called the Pickles as they prepare for a championship game.
  • Each episode presents the same events from a different character's perspective, highlighting themes of empathy, anxiety, and personal growth through dynamic animation and fantasy sequences.
  • Directed and produced by Pixar veterans Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates, the series features a voice cast including Will Forte, Lil Rel Howery, Rosa Salazar, and Chanel Stewart.
  • The series has drawn attention for its creative storytelling but also faced criticism after Disney removed a storyline involving a transgender character during production.
  • Win or Lose will stream exclusively on Disney+ starting February 19, with a score by Ramin Djawadi and original songs by CAMPFIRE.
