“Those layoffs included Lightyear director Angus MacLane, as well as Galyn Susman, the producer who became famous for saving Toy Story 2 after it was accidentally deleted from Disney’s servers.”
Fuck that’s cold, they fired the person that was essentially responsible for saving Pixar at the time. Way to show gratitude.
