I searched and couldn't find anything. I thought OMLandshark would have already posted this. And if Its already been posted, my apologies.

This is sad. Great talent who is one of the biggest innovators the film industry has ever seen.


"NEW YORK (AP) -- John Lasseter, the co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios and the Walt Disney Co.'s animation chief, will step down at the end of the year after acknowledging "missteps" in his behavior with staff members."

Shame. All those years Michael Jackson was pounding little boys in the arse and no one cared.

Now if you hug a co-worker the #metoo marching band comes to town.

How did we miss the sweet spot inbetween?

They cared, but because he's black, people pretend it didn't happen. The official line for sheep consumption is that he was "declared innocent" of molestation. He was found not guilty of raping the boy in that particular case because the endless list of former employees couldn't say with certainty that they saw him abusing that specific kid. THOUGH THEY DEFINITELY DID SEE HIM frickING KIDS, recalled with disturbing descriptive accuracy.

This is the one I bring up when I hear the "man out to get successful blacks" bullshite. He also stole his dance moves from Bob Fosse.

Yeah, I've lost friends over this.

He was pulled out months ago when the allegations surfaced. I guess they were hoping everything would calm down and he could exit quietly. Not likely.

Interesting that the article doesn’t really mention the things he was accused of.

Liar. Even the mom of the specific kid turned out to be a liar.

Hugs, kisses, women wouldn’t sit by him in meetings because he’d rub their thighs. He asked for female employees to go with him to events and people stepped in to chaperone out of fear of him going to far.

John K. Of Ren and Stimpy was way worse. Flying teenage fans in to work for him and to stay at his crib. In his thirties banging high school girls.

Not a giant surprise. He was fond of having female staff sit on his lap while they reviewed work the women had done. He also came across as a very hug and touch sort of person. To everyone he came across.

It only takes a few of those people to find it creepy before you are swimming in dangerous waters with corporate.

This is a major blow to Pixar/Disney. Lasseter was the behind the scenes genius who got results, even if it meant firing the original director and bringing in someone new to improve the product.

Its hard to find the mix of creative genius who is ruthless enough to run a studio.

bullshite. Former house staff saw him with kids many times and testified to that fact.

And the other kid from years before got $25 million. Spin that, apologist dickhead.
