PIXAR ANIMATION STUDIOS & DISNEY+ SHARE FIRST FULL EPISODE OF “WIN OR LOSE” ON YOUTUBE
Final Two Episodes of the Critically Acclaimed Series Stream Next Wednesday on Disney+
Pixar Animation Studios and Disney+ shared the first episode of the critically acclaimed new series “Win or Lose” on YouTube today. Pixar’s first-ever original series features the intertwined stories of eight different characters as they each prepare for their big championship softball game—the insecure kids, their helicopter parents, even a lovesick umpire. The first six episodes are now streaming on Disney+, with the final two episodes premiering next Wednesday to conclude the heartfelt series.
In the first episode, “Coach’s Kid,” Laurie (voice of Rosie Foss) may not be the most skilled player on her softball team, but she makes up for it in spirit—most of the time. The 12-year-old struggles with insecurity that manifests into an amorphous, sentient creature called Sweaty (voice of Jo Firestone) that only she can see. Laurie’s anxiety mounts as the championship draws nearer—she literally carries an ever-growing Sweaty on her back, struggling under its weight. All she wants is to score a hit and make her dad aka Coach (voice of Will Forte) proud.
Featuring a voice cast that also includes Josh Thomson, Milan Elizabeth Ray, Rosa Salazar, Dorien Watson, Izaac Wang, Chanel Stewart, Lil Rel Howery, Melissa Villaseñor, Flula Borg, Kyleigh Curran, Jaylin Fletcher, Erin Keif, Tom Law, Beck Nolan, Orion Tran, and Rhea Seehorn, “Win or Lose” delivers Pixar’s signature blend of humor, heart, and groundbreaking animation.
Directed and written by Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates, and produced by David Lally, this visually stunning and deeply relatable series is packed with laugh-out-loud moments, emotional depth, and an unforgettable soundtrack featuring music by composer Ramin Djawadi and original songs by CAMPFIRE and Djawadi.
