Disney is carrying out another round of layoffs that cuts several hundred positions across multiple parts of the company, according to reports from several outlets. The reductions include roles within Pixar and National Geographic, which are described as among the most affected divisions. Other Disney entertainment units, including Disney Entertainment Television and corporate teams, are also reported to receive notifications. One outlet notes that the layoffs are part of the company’s broader restructuring efforts and that this follows earlier rounds of job cuts during the year.
Separately, reporting also links staffing changes at ESPN to broader business developments, including a deal with the NFL, with some ESPN staffers described as being let go in connection with that agreement. While the layoffs are framed as corporate streamlining, the sources collectively indicate that impact varies by division, with Pixar particularly singled out for heavier cuts in at least some reports. One outlet specifies Pixar could trim up to around 150 roles, though figures beyond “several hundred” vary by report.
