On Tuesday, head of Disney Animation John Lasseter took a leave of absence from Pixar after admitting “missteps” and “painful” conversations with staff. He did not specify the missteps or the content of the conversations. However, The Hollywood Reporter says that THR was about to release a report “detailing alleged misconduct by the executive at Disney/Pixar.” Lasseter is one of the biggest names in the history of animation; he’s responsible for Toy Story and Toy Story 2, and the man behind the revitalization of Disney animation that led to Frozen, Tangled, and Inside Out.
Here’s the text of Lasseter’s letter:
