Follows the intertwined stories of eight different characters as they each prepare for their big championship softball game. The series reveals what it actually feels like to be in the shoes of each character -- the insecure kids, their helicopter parents, even a lovesick umpire.

If it does feel familiar at times that might well be because the themes in “Win or Lose” are universal.

Rated: 3.5/4

Daily Telegraph (UK)

This eight-parter feels like a hotch-potch designed by committee, lacking Pixar’s usual zip and joy.

Rated: 2/5

Amy Amatangelo

AV Club

The series mostly flounders because of the very nature of its structure. By telling its story from multiple perspectives and then forcing viewers to piece together the overall narrative, it’s hard to deeply care about any of the characters.

Rated: C+

Laura Sirikul

The Nerds of Color

The overall tone and plot are good, but the story loses its momentum as it waits for everything to connect by the end of the season. While some stories are pretty forgettable, a few are worth the wait.

Rated: 3/5

Screen Rant

Win or Lose greatly benefits from its diverse tapestry and stories. It feels real and genuine in its attempts to illustrate a close-knit community.

Rated: 6/10

...it’s the most a Pixar production has felt attuned to everyday concerns in quite some time, which hits on the genuine everyday concerns you wouldn’t hear from a series with Republican sympathies.

Rated: B

Just watched the first two episodes on Disney Plus this morning and it looks like a big home run from Pixar!

Pixar makes a comeback from endless sequels and spinoffs with Win or Lose, which turns shifting perspectives on a middle-school softball championship into a clever (and great-looking) creative exercise in empathy.
