## Resource

Disney’s latest wave of layoffs hits hard—over 300 employees cut across Pixar, Disney TV, Studios, and ESPN—despite Pixar’s blockbuster “Inside Out 2” raking in $1.6B. Pixar’s new film “Hopper” reportedly failed to break even, sparking the biggest layoff for the studio in two years. ESPN loses veteran voices like Karl Ravech and Ryan Clark, while National Geographic braces for cuts too. This is Disney’s third major round this year, following January and April layoffs, as the entertainment industry continues its turbulent reshuffling.
