Bounding Into Comics Reports: According to a new report, in an apparent attempt to avoid any controversy surrounding the film’s release, Disney responded to the original draft of Inside Out 2 by asking Pixar to rewrite the script in order to make teenage protagonist Riley Anderson came across as “less gay”.

This supposed Disney directive was first revealed to the public courtesy of numerous and allegedly now-former Pixar employees who spoke to IGN‘s Alex Steadman regarding the studio’s purported less-than-stable status.

“I think for a month or two, the animators were working seven days a week,” said an insider in reference to what one of their colleagues described as “the largest crunchy in the studio’s history”.

“Ridiculous amounts of production workers, just people being tossed into jobs they’d never really done before,” the anonymous employee added. “It was horrendous.”

One former team member even revealed that due to the laid off employees not being official members of the Disney workforce at the time, they did not qualify for any bonuses related to Inside Out 2‘s potential (and ultimately eventual) success.

“To be told by our HR reps that we were not going to qualify for that bonus felt like an ultimate ‘f–k you’ from Disney,” said one of the laid off Pixar employees.

Another insider revealed that the reason for Pixar’s supposed scramble regarding Inside Out 2‘s production was the fact that it was considered by many to be “a life or death situation” for the the studio’s future.
