🏢👋💔 Galyn Susman, The Heroine of ‘Toy Story 2’, Gets The Boot From Pixar… Thanks A Lot, Now Pack Up And Go!!!
The longtime Disney producer Galyn Susman, the woman who is credited with saving “Toy Story 2”, has just been laid off along with several other Pixar employees… and the fans are quite upset. 😡🎬👢
This unpleasant news came to light on a recent Saturday, as reported by Reuters. Susman was one of the 75 Pixar workers who recently lost their jobs in a massive layoff. She was one of three major figures at Pixar to be let go… the others included Michael Agulnek — the VP of worldwide publicity at Pixar — and ‘Lightyear’ director Angus MacLane, who was also involved in other Pixar productions. 🏬🎥🚀👋
These layoffs are reportedly linked to the failure of last year’s ‘Lightyear’… a movie based on the “real” Buzz Lightyear, voiced by Chris Evans. The film had a budget of around $200 million and only grossed $226 million at the worldwide box office… not to mention it received mediocre reviews. 🎞️💸💣😕
Although the film did not perform well, many are saying that scapegoating — and ultimately firing — the executives/producers involved in its development is cold-hearted… particularly in the case of Galyn, who played a pivotal role in preserving what was left of ‘Toy Story 2’ at the time. 🎯🔥❄️🎬
This is the stuff of legends — and this tale has been told several times by Disney executives over the years. There was a sort of glitch in Disney’s computers that nearly deleted around 90% of the movie back then, and the film was only about a year away from its scheduled release date. 😱💻🔥🎥
The studio was in a state of panic, trying to save whatever was left, but from the looks of it… they were going to have to start from scratch — until Galyn came to the rescue with a backup copy… which she fortunately had with her due to her working from home during her maternity leave. 🏃♀️💽👶🏡
In the end, Disney remade the movie anyway — creating a different version from what Galyn had saved — but her extra files undoubtedly saved them a lot of time, work, and money. 🔄🎞️⏰💰💪
Now, she’s without a job… and Twitter users think that stinks on the part of Disney. As they say — that’s show business, baby. Loyalty and IOUs have expiration dates. 🐭🏠🕰️💔🤷♀️
