Win or Lose is the first original series produced by Pixar Animation Studios, a significant departure for a studio built on theatrical features, and it was made with the same attention to craft and emotional nuance that defines the studio's films.
Each episode is told from a different character's perspective and gives that character a distinct visual language, altering the animation style, color, and even the way anxiety or excitement is physically represented so that the audience experiences the same week through many different emotional lenses.
Shortly before release, Disney removed a storyline involving a transgender youth character, a decision that drew considerable public debate about representation in children's media and became one of the most discussed aspects of the series' rollout.
Win or Lose holds a landmark place in Pixar's history as the studio's first-ever original long-form series, an animated comedy that brings Pixar's feature-quality craft and emotional depth to episodic television. Created by Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates, the eight-episode series follows a co-ed middle-school softball team, the Pickles, over the course of the week leading up to their big championship game, examining the anxieties, hopes, and inner lives of the kids, coaches, and parents in their orbit.
The show's clever structural conceit is that each episode retells the same week from a different character's point of view, revealing how the same events look wildly different depending on whose eyes you see them through. A nervous young pitcher, an overwhelmed coach, a kid navigating family stress, each perspective is rendered with its own visual flourishes that externalize that character's emotional state, a technique that lets the series explore empathy and subjectivity in a way tailor-made for Pixar's storytelling strengths.
Debuting on Disney+ in early 2025, Win or Lose drew attention both for its inventive format and for a pre-release controversy when Disney removed a storyline involving a transgender character, a decision that generated significant discussion. Reviews praised the animation and the show's tender understanding of adolescent anxiety. It streams on Disney+.
