Seems to be a day for posts with two headlines. These are both from The Hollywood Reporter, about 30 minutes apart:
John Lasseter Taking Leave of Absence From Pixar Amid "Missteps"
John Lasseter's Pattern of Alleged Misconduct Detailed by Disney/Pixar Insiders
One take-away from the second link:
Rashida Jones is still credited as a writer on Toy Story 4, the next installment in the beloved franchise. But, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter, the actress and her writing partner at the time, Will McCormack, left the project early on after John Lasseter, the acclaimed head of Pixar and Walt Disney Animation, made an unwanted advance.
Shame really - Pixar brought CGI to mainstream film-making and Lasseter was one of the pioneers.
