Disney's Pixar lays off execs and veterans in 75 job cuts.

Walt Disney's Pixar Animation Studios has cut 75 positions, including those of two executives behind "Lightyear," which was a box office disappointment. The cuts are part of Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger's plan to eliminate 7,000 jobs and cut $5.5 billion in costs. Angus MacLane, the director of "Lightyear," and Galyn Susman, the producer, were among those laid off. The last time Pixar cut jobs was in 2013, after the studio postponed the release of "The Good Dinosaur."

Disney Pixar lays off 'Lightyear' team members and studio veterans.

Galyn Susman, the Pixar producer who saved Toy Story 2, and Lightyear director Angus MacLane were among the 75 employees laid off by Pixar in late May as part of the massive layoff from the entire Disney company. Susman had saved Toy Story 2 back in 1998 when almost all of the files from the film were deleted, but she had a backup copy of the film at home due to working remotely and was able to save it from being doomed.
