Pixar’s “Win Or Lose” Disney+ Original Trailer Released
Disney has released a new trailer for the upcoming Pixar animated series, “Win Or Lose”, which follows the intertwined stories of eight different characters as they each prepare for their big championship softball game.
The series reveals what it actually feels like to be in the shoes of each character—the insecure kids, their helicopter parents, even a lovesick umpire—with incredibly funny, very emotional and uniquely animated perspectives.
Check out the “Win Or Lose” trailer below:
Carrie Hobson, who wrote, directed and executive produced the series with Michael Yates, said in a statement:
“I played softball growing up. Inspired by that experience, we felt fast-pitch softball was the perfect backdrop for the show. There are so many facets to playing sports that I love—it can bring out the best and worst of a person, the calmest person can lose their temper. And when it comes to winning and losing—the consequences are nothing, and yet, they’re everything. We really felt like it was the best arena for the themes we loved.”
According to Yates, the idea of spotlighting different perspectives was born of everyday life at Pixar.
“Carrie and I were officemates on ‘Toy Story 4″. We were both story artists on the film, and we would talk about a lot of things going on in the film, as well as things going on in the world—current events, news. We would always have different reactions or different interpretations of the same meeting. One of us would say, ‘That went great!’ and the other would say, ‘No! It was terrible, what are you talking about?’ We realized that our own experiences that we bring to the table change our perception of an event. We wanted to tell a story that illustrated all of that.”
“Win or Lose” features the voices of Will Forte, Rosie Foss, Josh Thomson, Milan Elizabeth Ray, Rosa Salazar, Dorien Watson, Izaac Wang, Chanel Stewart, Lil Rel Howery, Melissa Villaseñor, Jo Firestone, Flula Borg, Kyleigh Curran, Jaylin Fletcher, Erin Keif, Tom Law, Beck Nolan, Orion Tran and Rhea Seehorn. The series, which presents incredibly funny, very emotional and uniquely animated perspectives, is produced by David Lally, includes music by composer Ramin Djawadi and original songs by CAMPFIRE and Djawadi.
Pixar’s first series will premiere on Disney+ on February 19th 2025 with the first two episodes, with a new episode being released each week. Originally, the series had been announced to be coming out last month, but Disney swapped the release date with “Dream Productions”.
