Pixar Animation Studios is set to undergo a leadership change,

After serving as president for 12 of his 21 years at the studio, Jim Morris will transition to a president emeritus role. Jonathan Garson will become the studio’s new president, partnering with Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter.

In his new role as president, Garson will oversee all production and operations for Pixar — which most recently released the billion-dollar hit “Toy Story 5,” and has the original animated films “Gatto” and “Ghost Market” upcoming — including its producers, department heads, and post-production. As president emeritus, Morris will continue as executive producer of “Incredibles 3,” slated for a June 2028 theatrical release. More broadly, he will focus on talent development and mentoring across Pixar and Walt Disney Studios, as well as technology initiatives to support the studios’ storytellers and artists.
