  "account": "Pixar Animation Studios has announced changes in leadership, with veteran Jonathan Garson set to become president on January 4, replacing Jim Morris. Morris, who has served as president for 12 years, will transition to a president emeritus role while remaining involved in projects such as The Incredibles 3. Garson, who has been with Pixar since 2010 and Disney for over 30 years, will oversee production and operations at the studio. The move sets up the next generation of leadership at Pixar, which is part of the Disney empire following its acquisition of the animation studio in 2006. Pixar's upcoming slate includes Gatto in March 2027, Ghost Market in March 2028, and The Incredibles 3 in June 2028.",
