Part 2/7:
The series, titled Win or Lose, marks Pixar’s first original series not based on existing intellectual property. The show revolves around a youth softball tournament and notably begins with the character Lori, a young girl grappling with self-doubt, who prays for strength. This opening moment is a first for Disney—introducing an openly Christian character after nearly two decades. The last instance was in the 2007 live-action film Bridge to Terabithia, where themes of faith were explored through the lives of two children attending church.
