230607皮克斯大裁员，新作扑街，辉煌不在？
▍原文
Walt Disney’s Pixar Animation Studios has eliminated 75 positions including those of two executives behind box office disappointment “Lightyear,” the first significant job cuts at the studio in a decade.
While small compared to Pixar's employee base of about 1,200, the layoffs are notable because the studio is a creative force generating franchises and characters that drive revenue across Disney.
