If HudsonMedia acquired Pixar

The acquisition of Pixar Animation Studios by HudsonMedia Entertainment announced on February 2027 and completed on September 2027.

This acquisition resulted in Pixar breaking up with Disney for the second time after they previously got furious at their CEO, Bob Chapek for moving three Pixar movies to Disney+ instead of theatrical. This also resulted in bulking up his company's animation sibling alongside their streaming platform with the majority stake of Comcast's NBCU and Paramount as well as the move of the Pixar library.

Background
In February 2029, when HudsonMedia's founder, owner, president and CEO, Nathaniel Hudson-Monta Baptiste sent a letter, efforting to separate and acquire Pixar from Disney after in late 2022 their employees slam Bob Chapek for, instead of releasing theatrically, moving to their streaming platform Disney+, Pixar CFO Pete Docter approved it after he previously saw the Natesworld cutaway of Snoopy, Oopsy and Woodstock to see Soul, Luca and Turning Red in theaters.

In April, NewsNation reported that HudsonMedia Entertainment was in talks with Pete Docter to buy Pixar after merger plans were announced recently like the WarnerMedia deal with Discovery, which later formed Warner Bros. Discovery in April 2022 and the second Viacom deal with CBS, forming ViacomCBS (now Paramount) in December 2019. Hudson also faced heavy competition with other mini-major and major studios, such as Lionsgate, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, Universal, and MGM, along with A24. According to Nathaniel, the company must've had a restructure after they folded The Natesworld Company into HudsonAnimation and became the new home of Natesworld, which Nate also owned and was remained on YouTube.

Failure to a deal and an executive lawsuit
The Walt Disney Company is worried about HudsonMedia Entertainment's ability to acquire Pixar and could result in the studio losing billions of dollars as well as its Pixar library. This gave CEO Bob Iger the opportunity to come up with an idea as the company has agreed to acquire HudsonMedia Entertainment, which includes the mini-major studio, its animation and television division, and many more, instead so they can keep Pixar as their subsidiary. The only way to help Disney grow its library is that he had to convince its founder to sell most of the company's assets for $2.45 billion. However, Nate refuses to do so with Nate telling Iger: "I hope you'll be kicked out because I am not letting you acquire my company neither that Disney should own it!" HudsonMedia's shareholders disapprove his deal, saying that the Hudson-Disney deal could fail the future of HudsonMedia Entertainment as well as HudsonMedia Studios and its Pixar acquisition. Because of this, Iger decided to give up and cancel the plans to acquire HudsonMedia Entertainment and an hour later, he was resigned and replaced by Abigail Disney, daughter of Roy E. Disney and granddaughter of Roy O., Walt's brother who co-founded the studio over 100 years ago as the CEO of Disney.

In June, Pixar announced that they're leaving Disney for HudsonMedia and the founder says that it would "replenish and be friends with our animation division". However, a lawsuit was filed against Hudson by a furious Disney executive. He says that the end of the Disney/Pixar relationship could leave no trace behind for Disney's future after the studio faltered previously due to The Incredibles and Finding Nemo and may result in bankruptcy. However, HudsonMedia won the case and the judge countersued the Disney executive for perjury and was fined later that year.

Birthday of the owner, re-release, and Conker!
In August, during Nate's birthday, Pixar produced an animated short inspired by the studio's first movie, Twelve as well as the reanimation of Luxo Jr. and all Pixar movies and shorts had to be re-released, including Soul, Luca and Turning Red. Following it, they are producing The Conker Movie!, based on the video game franchise with Microsoft Studios and Point Grey Pictures in 2030. This could be marked as the first Pixar animated movie under HudsonMedia and the first adult-oriented Pixar movie. They also announced a new logo and a new look with a new sonic identity composed by Travis Scott, who will voice as the titular character.
