Pixar Animation Studios and Disney+ shared the first episode of the critically acclaimed new series Win or Lose on YouTube today. Pixar’s first-ever original series features the intertwined stories of eight different characters as they each prepare for their big championship softball game — the insecure kids, their helicopter parents, even a lovesick umpire.
The first six episodes are now streaming on Disney+, with the final two episodes premiering next Wednesday to conclude the series.
In the first episode, “Coach’s Kid,” Laurie (voiced by Rosie Foss) may not be the most skilled player on her softball team, but she makes up for it in spirit — most of the time. The 12-year-old struggles with insecurity that manifests into an amorphous, sentient creature called Sweaty (Jo Firestone) that only she can see. Laurie’s anxiety mounts as the championship draws nearer — she literally carries an ever-growing Sweaty on her back, struggling under its weight. All she wants is to score a hit and make her dad aka Coach (Will Forte) proud.
Directed and written by Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates, and produced by David Lally, Win Or Lose also features the voices of Josh Thomson, Milan Elizabeth Ray, Rosa Salazar, Dorien Watson, Izaac Wang, Chanel Stewart, Lil Rel Howery, Melissa Villaseñor, Flula Borg, Kyleigh Curran, Jaylin Fletcher, Erin Keif, Tom Law, Beck Nolan, Orion Tran and Rhea Seehorn. The limited series’ soundtrack features music by composer Ramin Djawadi and original songs by CAMPFIRE and Djawadi.
