Gagné ou Perdu

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Pixar's Win or Lose has officially hit Disney+, and it's safe to say this series has hit a home run in terms of storytelling, heart, and innovation. Known for its stunning animations and emotional depth, Pixar brings a fresh perspective to TV with Win or Lose, an eight-episode series that follows a middle school co-ed softball team in the days leading up to their big championship game.

What's most intriguing about Win or Lose is how it tells the same story from the eyes of different characters. Each episode focuses on a different member of the team, the storytelling structure isn't just clever-it's an invitation to truly understand the varied emotions, conflicts, and motivations each character brings to the game, offering a deeper connection with each of them.

The animation is, of course, top-tier. Pixar's signature warmth and expressiveness shine through, creating a vibrant, relatable world for viewers of all ages. From the colors of the playing field to the subtle emotional cues in the characters' faces, there's a consistency of excellence that's become synonymous with Pixar's name.

But it's not just about the animation. Win or Lose really stands out because of its heart. The show doesn't shy away from exploring the complexities of friendships, growing up, and finding one's identity-all through the lens of a seemingly simple sports story. It's funny, emotional, and sometimes raw in a way that feels refreshingly honest. Whether it's dealing with the stress of winning, managing disappointment, or navigating personal struggles, the series feels grounded and real.

In terms of tone, Win or Lose strikes the perfect balance between humor and emotion. It doesn't shy away from serious moments but also knows when to lighten the mood with playful gags or light-hearted interactions. The voice cast, including Will Forte as Coach Dan and a talented ensemble, bring their characters to life with such authenticity that it's impossible not to care about their journeys.

Ultimately, Win or Lose feels like the kind of series that could easily become a Pixar classic. It's a bit different from what we've come to expect from the animation studio, but it proves that Pixar can still hit home runs, even in uncharted territory. With its innovative narrative structure, lovable characters, and heartfelt exploration of personal growth, Win or Lose is a series that's not just for kids, it's for anyone who's ever had to face the pressure of winning, the sting of losing, and the messy middle ground in between.
