Disney’s Pixar names Jonathan Garson president as Jim Morris steps back
Jonathan Garson, most recently Pixar’s general manager, has been with the studio since 2010 and Disney for more than 30 years.
Pixar Animation Studios, a division of Disney, announced on Wednesday that veteran Jonathan Garson will assume the role of president on January 4, 2024, succeeding Jim Morris. Morris will transition to a president emeritus position and continue involvement with upcoming projects, including Pixar's third installment of The Incredibles.
The leadership change is aimed at bringing a fresh perspective to the studio's operations and production. Garson, who has been with Pixar since 2010 and Disney for over three decades, will oversee production and day-to-day management, while Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter retains creative control over the studio's films. Pixar's feature films have collectively earned over $12 billion globally during Morris' tenure, which spanned 12 years.
The animation studio has a lineup of upcoming releases, including Gato in March 2027, Ghost Market in March 2028, and The Incredibles 3 in June 2028.
