John Lasseter stepping down and leaving Disney

[Pete's Dragon]

Disney said on Friday that Mr. Lasseter — the co-founder of Pixar Animation Studios who has long been one of Disney’s most important creative executives, serving as a force behind the “Toy Story,” “Cars” and “Frozen” franchises — would take on a consulting role at the company until the end of the year and then leave permanently. He will not have an office in the interim.

Will Disney and Pixar be in good hands once he's gone?
