Ryan Robotham John Lasseter isn't some dirty player. He's a nice nice and friendly person which is why he hugs his co workers. I'm pretty sure he gives males long hugs too. It's really the fault of the women who didn't tell him that so he would know.

Mediawatcher Talk about timing. Did anyone else see Coco?

ArtLover Animation I'm eating lunch rn, I just saw it 20 minutes ago and then learned about this....

Sort of like with Walt Disney. It´s sad to know this when they can be so great and creative minds.

Ahturos I hope walt disney is not racist

Pip bernadotte I hate to tell it to ya buuuutt he was really antisemitic

What did he do?

It probably isn't that serious. Follow your dream job and make it clear to people what you're about.

What is your favorite pixar movie?

I've come to talk with you again

Because a vision softly creeping

Sussie the Chin Let's just hope for the best.

Joe Taylor Exactly, he's not some dirty player, he's just really friendly to his workers.

SPOILER: Don't idolize people you don't know.

Wow true when you put it like that ... You kinda just blew my mind !

SmashBlaster 1-Up isn’t that what raising children is like tho?

@@superkonijn988 no not really

FanimationXV I hear that, man.

wickiwickiwickiwickiwicki Good Times!

to quote the band, White Snake, "Here we go, again." as another response to the men who were accused of sexual assault.

Not every man accused of sexual assault is guilty, and women can sexually assault too you know.

That's true, too bad that the media would rather focus on the latter of which.

Hell yes.

Scrubman lowell That could work.

I never liked the Cars films anyway

This can actually make a lot of sense now.

The fact that he made Cars 2 at all is a reason why he should be fired

Scrubman lowell

Andrew Kuder but he's not going to rehab

davrosdaleks1 That sounds more likely. Unfortunately, unlike Louis C.K., where I saw his admission as a sign that the women coming forward would get some justice and he might get some psychological help, I don't think this will happen with John Lassiter. He has enough money that he can pay off the best lawyers he wants. Other than losing his job, I think he's gonna get out scot-free.

There are rumors going around that he already negotiated his retirement/resignation from Disney and he's only doing the 6 month sabbatical so they could avoid controversy for Coco's theatrical run and Oscar circut.

CJAdams97 once one person has the courage to speak up other people who have also suffered get inspired to speak up as well

lina ware true but i feel some are just taking advantage of it, and may be abusing it to blame a innocent person

Ever since the reveal of Harvey Weinstein's sexual assault allegations it's been a flood ever since.

CJAdams97 I know right.

And I like how these people who claim sexual assault or rape come out 15 YEARS later suddenly they now want to say something cause everyone else is doing it

And that's the thing. We don't.

Improv Gibber People really need to stop believing the things the media says.

CartoonBoyification1 Yeah, people calling Lasseter a pig and pointing out suspicions in the Cars 2 moral are pathetic and blind to what they see and hear in the media.

Abimation He isn't some dirty player, he's a nice person.

Abbimation. You don't even know any of this is true. IT's all based on lies and gossip that nobody can prove right.

HulluRichie Pixar wouldn't be the same

Squid Ward Which is good. Who'd want a sexual predator to represent a company? Let someone else take the lead.

Dose John have a son that can animate

that if the allegation are true

spino zilla I have no reason not to believe the women who came forward. Especially since John Lasseter didn't deny the claims

Why? Walt was racist, but that doesn't bother me.

Well, thinking about it now I overreacted a bit, he isn't Weinstein

Nathan Shlapobersky And he was a chronic smoker, drinker, didn't pay his animators properly which lead to them striking(to be fair, it was the Great Depression, everyone was facing money problems), and was overall an unpleasant man. He admitted publicly that he always put on a nice looking facade for the marketing gimmicks, and Disney was all right to actually remember and portray him as he truly was, not just what he showed on TV. Hopefully if Pixar decides to make a biopic about John Lasseter, they treat him with the same respect and show his flaws as well.

There are movies and there are people making them. I can enjoy a movie if It's good and not offensive. The filmmakers and their lives are completely different matter.

This year in a nut shell.

Only after he was caught. I’m not accepting any apology if it was after someone got caught or outed. Cause if they haven’t they wouldn’t have stopped.

@@ariesdemiurge He's guilty of being male. This is why I don't interact with strangers anymore. Call me cold. I don't care.

Yes.

Um, hello? Did you miss the part where it was explained how he would also touch them inappropriately and even kiss them on the lips? And you can't exactly say "no" if someone forces themselves on you and has made up their mind that they WILL do it to you no matter what.

I'd be down with it, his contributions to Pixar are amazing.

ejl423 Agreed. Even with emotional movies such as Coco.

Pete Docter actually is taking over Pixar. Once John leaves at the end of the year, Pete's taking the chair

Dylan Tennant oh I could imagine it at this point.

Hayo?

Stephanie Tienda No! Don't even say that, I mean Isao maybe, but no Miyazaki, he is a literal god of anime, and he can do no wrong!

Dylan Tennant let’s go hope it will not be him next. 2016 was a year of beloved celebrities died but 2017 is the year of celebrities are accused of harassment.

Stephanie Tienda I just hope 2018 won't be the year of celebrity murder.

Teddy Furstman Me too...

Poor John ? It's his own fault !

@@thiagoteixeira6537 no no no no no. It’s not his fault at all. He’s just affectionate! Plus I’m pretty sure he has some sort of hormone imbalance. As a person who goes through them herself I understand how he feels. You think these imbalances can be fixed with medication? NOPE. I’ve tried supplements, those “miracle treatments” which apparently are just placebo, heck the way I have to deal with it is I wear a compression vest or wrap myself in a blanket and roll on the floor.

3 years later, and He hasn't come back. Pixar is a sad place without him.

HI-5 HAS TAKEN OVER me too.

I'm surprised this comment hasn't gotten any notice or response, because you do bring up a fair point.

There have been allegations made against the likes of Ben Affleck and James Franco as well.

J. B. I haven't seen them get fired and dropped from their agency like Louis CK.

Your comment is underrated as hell.

I'm not sure how you can label lip-kissing and touching women's legs without their consent as just being friendly.

It would be possible!

alexis martinez How many times do I have to say this? John isn't some dirty player. Most of the claims have been about him hugging them too long. It's really their fault for not telling him that.

thang le. Because people don't wanna hear the rest of the truth in why all this seems way too suspicious and out of character for someone like Lasseter who I believe would never do such a thing these asshole accusers throw at him the same as when they tried to destroy Michael Jackson.

He was the chosen one. It's said that he would destroy the sith, not join' em.

Welcome to the second dark age my friend.

Jake DeBruin I'm with you my friend.

Don't let that stop you from creating something, just don't make the same mistake and learn from your predecessors

I truly wanted to become an animator, director and filmmaker as a dream however ever since I heard news about cartoonists being sexually harnessed I'm feeling worried and nervous too.

As long as you continue to treat women with respect, even if you are wealthy and popular Jake DeBruin and Alexis Martinez, then you'll be fine in becoming the animators you want to be.

This was supposed to be the good year, where we could all look back and say WOW, glad that's over, but nope, 2017 was just playing a big scam on us and pranking us into thinking this and then silently poring a bucket of disappointment and Donald Trump onto our faces

You must admire all the same people I did. = / Sigh.

I thought he was in some financial trouble... ...I'll hide in my corner now

This year has seriously put a damper on my opinion of so many people. I can't believe so many people would do this.

Isabelle Seeley IMO, this year has been slighty better than 2016. To understand why I feel this way, you need to remember that 2016 wasn't terrible just because of Trump; his victory was merely the final nail in the coffin for many people, and there were many events that led up to it. For a few examples, there was the overabundance of celebrity deaths, several fatal incidents of police brutality, a few mass shootings, the whole Ghostbusters fiasco, and Florida and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Week.* 2017, in contrast, has had a little less badness in it altogether, and the few bad moments I can name off the top of my head are mostly recurring things, like all these sexual harassment scandals, that awful hurricane season, and basically Trump's every move. Given all that, I think it's easier for you to understand my opening statement now *This nickname is the one I gave to when Florida experienced the murder of Christina Grimmie, a toddler getting eaten to death by an alligator at a Disney World hotel (by the way, why do their hotels even *have* alligators to begin with?), and the deadliest US tragedy since 9/11, *all in the same week*

As someone living in a quite fuckery-free country, I mostly heavily affected by the unexpected death of Carrie Fisher.

In 2016, I mean.

Squid Ward Lol

*sigh* I honestly can't say for sure. But what I am sure of is that many bad things are happening in 2017. The release of "The Emoji Movie", the announcement of the "Teen Titans Go!" movie, Chris Savino getting fired for harassing women, and now this. I'm just a little depressed by this. Whatever will happen next? ☹️

PixarFan 8695 A legend in animation dying?

+GoPrincess I hope not...

PixarFan 8695 Morgan Freeman is under fire for flirting with a woman who is now calling it sexual harassment.

I agree with u

But he admitted, right?

+sally carrera He apologised for it so... yes???

G Rodriguez PLEASE NO

Yes, everyone is capable of doing something wrong. We're all human and we all do stupid shit. But we also have a choice of acting on those bad actions or at least learn from past mistakes. Walt Disney was no angel why should Lasseter be. It's also why you shouldn't put anybody on a pedestal, because now the fall is going to be that much greater.

I know no one is perfect, however when I hear things like this; it makes me question whether they are human and have a sense of right and wrong. And if they did what happened?‼️

Steven Maiorana Well it depends. I still have hope in a different animation star. He hasn’t been known to do anything that bad.

JustSomeKid InTheComments keep calm and stick to hentai

Mr. X Im disgusted with John...I hope it's not true with Disney

Mr. X He's not being fired because he's not some dirty player. These claims have mostly been things like he hugged them to long which is really their fault for not saying anything to him.

thang le do you even know what you are saying?

Mr. X Yes, yes I am

Mr. X Aw, what a bunch of bullshit lies the media wants you to believe because they are extremely jealous and resentful of people and companies they want to destroy at all costs.

Katie Lewis And it sickens me to know that AniMat is actually DEFENDING him!

yotsubafanfan why

The world will get better

yotsubafanfan who is that

Squid Ward The director of Monsters INC., UP, and Inside Out.

+Uncle Richard's Smoke Detector Why would people lie about this? I’ve never been Raped but I know people who have and it takes a lot from them to come out and say it. This really isn’t something people lie about. And until it’s been proven fake we should support the victim.

@@l.tc.5032Amber heard is the perfect example of why believing the victim without any question can also be a bad thing as well I’m just saying

Channel 821 The loud house is doing fine without chris savino

Seán Sourke Actually, Disney has just announced that he got fired

*month*

Seán Sourke I wish can take a 6 month break and get paid, HA HA!

They did?

HI-5 HAS TAKEN OVER Do you have proof?

PixarFan 8695 he said sorry and he didn't assault

Squid Ward Yeah. I actually do feel sorry for John Lasseter because he was one of the most important things about Pixar Animation Studios and I’m a huge fan of Pixar and his work in general especially before this nasty predicament he’s recently gotten into. Hopefully, after his break, he’ll feel much better. UPDATE: Actually, that won't be the case at all since John Lasseter is leaving Disney soon.

Benjamin Fenty shouldn't be a surprise since he worked with John K, who behaves like this too.

Jimbre What's wrong with Dan Schneider? Yeah his current shows aren't good, but what's wrong with him?

Christian Celis I hope not

Speaking of Nickelodeon reboots, I wonder if he'll also review the Rocko's Modern Life: Static Cling movie when it comes out next year

Mat usually doesn't do TV movies, hope one of his Patreon supporters requests it someday.
