Titled Win or Lose, the Disney Plus exclusive focuses on a middle school softball team named the Pickles in the run-up to a crucial championship game. Each episode focuses on an individual character and their preparations for the match, including the young players, a parent, a coach and the match's umpire.

While the series breaks new ground for Pixar, ‘Win or Lose’ bears of the studio’s trademarks — great animation and heartfelt storytelling.

But its newest original project takes the company out of its wheelhouse of either theatrical animation or Pixar's classic animated shorts, for something in between: a full eight-episode animated series created entirely in-house (the previous Monsters at Work series was not actually created there).
