Disney Removes Trans Narrative from ‘Win or Lose’

Pixar’s first longform series will no longer feature the storyline, with the studio explaining, ‘many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline.’

Disney has removed a transgender storyline from the upcoming Pixar series Win or Lose, according to Variety.

“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.

The series follows the intertwined stories of eight different characters as they each prepare for their big championship softball game, revealing what it actually feels like to be in the shoes of each character.

Will Forte stars as Coach Dan, with Izaac Wang, Ian Chen, Jo Firestone, Milan, Josh Thomson, and Rosie Foss also starring. Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates direct, write and executive produce. David Lally produces.

Win or Lose streams exclusively on Disney+ starting February 19, 2025.
