Win or Lose

This animation is perfect Many people may think it isn't because it shows us our faults,not just entertaining and help to forget my faults It helps me to forgive myself,Well I figured out that I'm not alone because you showed me that everyone is like me,they have inner thoughts, they have problems,well I used to think I am the only one who is like that. But No,seems like we all are the same. So I appreciate what you made ,it's a little hard to watch because of showing our faults yeah😅 I know but it really really worth it to face with my faults again and get stronger that them. Thank you Pixar thank you.

I am 31/F and thoroughly enjoyed all the episodes!! Though, I wish some characters had a little bit more of development. I was so interested in how the storylines all played together and how they animated the different people's emotions!! I have two small kiddos who are not into it, but honestly was watching it just for myself. It was so refreshing to finally have some quality content come out on Disney+ instead of storyline that they just slapped together.

I'm hoping that there's going to be another season that deals with something similar or uses the same intertwining story technique. Well done Pixar!!

The series has garnered my attention for its unique storytelling approach, portraying the week leading up to a middle school softball team's championship game from various characters' perspectives. This narrative technique offers depth and relatability, allowing viewers to connect with each character's personal. For instance the studio is continuing the excellence in animation and the return to its origins with the ability to balance humour and emotion effectively.

* (to the person that review 1/10) Ah yes, because heaven forbid a Pixar show explores topics like emotions, relationships, and modern life. Clearly, it's much better for kids to grow up thinking the world is all sunshine and rainbows. If a show about softball and personal growth was too complex for you, maybe it just wasn't made for you. Move on and let the rest of us enjoy quality storytelling.

Fresh and relevant take on kids entertainment from Disney. Characters are awesome and each perspective brings them more depth. We loved how each family dynamic is different and not just the standard molecular family. Also very diverse group which was really cool too. Disney is highlighting mental health as an underlying theme within this series which doesn't get brought up often in cartoons and it's great the kids are seeing and understanding the stressors of what could be really effecting kids of that age group. We binged the first 6; kids got to stay up late that night. It was equally entertaining for adults as well. Anxiously awaiting the next drop.

I am not one to watch many series, nor have I seen much of Disney+'s offerings after having been a subscriber from the company's inception. Imagine my surprise when I casted this onto my TV to keep as background noise while I got some work done. Whether fortunate or unfortunate (depending on who you're asking), I got very little work done, as I was immediately drawn by this show's warm sensibilities, and dialed-in art style. After two episodes, I can frankly say that this truly came out of left field (pun unintentional, but welcome). The show's patiently reliable Pixar style seems to be riskier than films from eras past-with safe, predictable choices forfeited for visual gags and endearingly awkward punchlines that seem to come a mile-a-minute. This seems to be a show with a lot of hearts. Plural is apt here, as it seems to take the approach of unfolding the lead-up to a single calamitous event by unfolding the trajectories of each character's week leading up to the night in question. This, I believe, is where the show seems to take shape and really shine. As a watcher, I get the sense that one of the most challenging things to do for movies/series in the vein of "Win or Lose" lies in striking a correct tonal balance between being complex, sincere, and dynamic enough to win over mature audiences, whilst being simple and funny enough to not alienate the children who may be watching. Thus "family" humor seems to be something that is very hit-or-miss (there are the surprise baseball puns again). The subject matter of the episodes seem to draw from previous offerings like Inside Out-with an anthropomorphic depiction of insecurity and anxiety in one character's vignette-and Onward-with an unapologetically nerd-core game approach to "love" and "building up walls" as with another character. It seems to swing for the fences in every regard, oscillating between painfully human encounters with magical realism punchlines that blur the lines between what one person is experiencing in their inner world and what is actually happening. In this sense, it reminds me very much of Apple TV's "The Afterparty", to any of those who managed to find the stylings of that show appealing, if not varied in quality.

The cast of characters even seem to have adopted the successes of "Turning Red", opting for characters who ooze a winsome kind of awkwardness that feel neither forced, nor derivative. Episode 2 ends with an overture, rather than a crescendo-Billy Holiday's "No Regrets". After just two episodes, I decided to create an IMDB account, if merely to add my voice to the choir about how much I enjoy this show, after just two episodes. They hit it out of the park, bases loaded, with this one.
