Disney+ and Pixar Animation Studios are set to bring audiences an exciting new perspective with the launch of Pixar’s first-ever original series, “Win or Lose,” premiering on February 19.
This groundbreaking series promises to captivate viewers with a blend of humor, emotion, and unique animation, all centered around the highs and lows of a championship softball game.
‘Win or Lose’ A Story Told From Every Angle
“Win or Lose” takes an innovative narrative approach, following eight intertwined characters as they prepare for their big moment on the field.
From the nervous kids to their overly supportive parents and even a lovesick umpire, the series delves into the lives and emotions of each character.
This multi-perspective storytelling offers viewers a fresh and engaging way to connect with the themes of winning, losing, and personal growth.
Carrie Hobson, who co-wrote, directed, and executive produced the series with Michael Yates, shared the inspiration behind the show.
“I played softball growing up,” Hobson said. “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.”
Born From Real-Life Inspiration
According to Yates, the concept for the series was sparked by their everyday experiences at Pixar.
“Carrie and I were officemates on ‘Toy Story 4,’” he explained.
“We’d talk about everything from the film to current events, and we’d often have completely different interpretations of the same meeting. We realized that our own experiences shaped our perceptions and wanted to tell a story that illustrated all of that.”
Star-Studded Cast & Talented Creatives
“Win or Lose” boasts an impressive voice cast, including Will Forte, Rosa Salazar, Lil Rel Howery, Melissa Villaseñor, and Rhea Seehorn.
The series’ production team includes producer David Lally, composer Ramin Djawadi, and original music by CAMPFIRE and Djawadi, ensuring a rich auditory and visual experience.
Why ‘Win or Lose’ Is A Must-Watch
This Pixar series is more than just a sports story—it’s a heartfelt exploration of relationships, emotions, and the universal experiences of competition and camaraderie.
With its unique animation style and engaging narrative, “Win or Lose” is set to become a Disney+ favorite.
