Win or Lose

Pixar's newest show "Win or Lose" is a refreshing breath of fresh air from the recent other projects from Pixar such as Toy Story 4, Elemental and Lightyear, but Win or Lose brought back a sense of Pixar's old creativity and skills at making good stories.

The whole little show was a beautiful and masterful tale of several characters on a softball team. They're an unlikely bunch, but putting their differences aside they work so well together. Splitting the series so that every episode follows a single character was a brilliant idea. It's even better when you can see events from other episodes unfolding in the background. The attention to detail and how well the story wraps itself together was simply excellent. By the end of the show everything seemed to have been in a much better place than they were before. The actual ending of the Championship is unknown whether the team won or not was possibly a nod to the title as we're left to decide whether the team won or lost.

The animation was gorgeous and was further enhanced by superb voice acting from Will Forte, Rosa Salazar and Josh Thompson. The majority of the cast were children, and for the most part they were actually pretty good.

Overall, this show delves deep into sensitives themes such as mental health, stress and pressure. It amounts to a neat and well rounded little show that's definitely worth your time to watch.

I've seen a lot of reviews saying Win or Lose is unsuitable for children. While the themes are certainly more mature, the animation is fantastic, and much of the deeper context will likely go over younger viewers' heads. That said, the show does an incredible job of visualising emotions in a way that younger audiences can understand and relate to.

As a young adult, I really struggled with rage. I had no idea where it came from and found it hard to articulate. Seeing something like this when I was 12 or 13 could have made a huge difference in my life.

I love that Pixar is creating stories that help young people understand and express their emotions, offering visuals that make these complex feelings more accessible. It's a wonderful thing, and I truly believe this show will help a new generation not only process their own emotions but also develop compassion for the adults in their lives.

It's a beautiful show-heartbreaking at times-but ultimately delivers an important and necessary message.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

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.

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.

Im going to be honest here to me Pixar has kinda fallen off in terms of production. This is coming from a guy who grew up in the age of Monster Inc, Wall-E, incredibles some of the ealry project pixar hit straight out of the park with. But this series i think has brought a little faith back with Pixar.

First the story telling Each episode having a different component is probably the best decision pixar made with this series in mind. Each episode having a separate focus allows us the viewer to see the every day chaos that a simple middle school softball team can have. It truly shows how not every has the same perception in life, not everyone sees things or hears things the same as others bits get left out, things get forgotten, and actions seem grander or more minimal. Like for example without spoiling you get a perspective of a mother and daughter, you first see the daughters POV and you end up hating on the mother then you watch the moms POV and you feel bad because now you see why she was doing all the stuff the daughter took for granted. It shows that perspective can change so much about how you see a person. And that in the game of life you can either win or loose.

Its a phenomenal series and i hope pixar makes more

I want to give it a 9/10 but some things like the final episode and marketing put it at a solid 8/10.
