John Lasseter to Leave Disney by 2019
After almost 20 years of serving as one of Disney and Pixar's highest creative executives, John Lasseter is leaving the animation studios by the end of the year. According to Disney, John Lasseter, who was on leave of absence for the past 6 months due to allegations of abuse and harassment, will leave his positions in Disney Animation as well as Pixar on December 31st, 2018. In the meantime, he will serve only as an advisory consultant. The news was not much of a surprise, seeing as the director of such films as Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Toy Story 2, publicly acknowledged mistakes that he made throughout his career that may ultimately end it.
