If HudsonMedia acquired Pixar

The acquisition of Pixar Animation Studios by HudsonMedia Entertainment announced on February 2029 and completed on September 2029.

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 former CEO Bob Chapek for, instead of releasing theatrically, moving to their streaming platform Disney+, Pixar president James Morris approved it after he previously saw and loved the Natesworld cutaway of Snoopy, Oopsy and Woodstock to see Soul, Luca and Turning Red in theaters.

In April, Variety reported that HudsonMedia Entertainment was in talks with James Morris to buy Pixar after merger plans were announced recently like AT&T's WarnerMedia deal with Discovery, which later formed Warner Bros. Discovery in April 2022 and National Amusements' second Viacom deal with CBS, forming ViacomCBS (now Paramount Global) 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 moved the headquarters of, and folded Nate's animation studio, Natesworld Studios, into its animation division 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 and its animation studio are 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 acquisition idea so the company can keep Pixar as its subsidiary. Disney has later announced plans to acquire HudsonMedia Entertainment, which includes the mini-major studio, its animation and television division, and many more, even Hudson. The only attempt to help Disney grow its library is that he had to convince its founder and Disney's board to sell most of the company's assets for $2.45 billion. However, Nate disagrees with his deal. telling Iger that "Too many assets, too many shareholders, too much money" was the reason why he would never let him acquire nor should Disney own his company. HudsonMedia's shareholders disapprove of, and reject, Iger's Hudson-Disney deal, saying that it could fail the future of HudsonMedia Entertainment as well as HudsonMedia Studios and its Pixar acquisition if they agreed. Because of this, Iger decided to give up and cancel the plans to acquire HudsonMedia Entertainment, and about 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 "bulk up our animation division", however, a lawsuit was filed against HudsonMedia 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, re-distribute and streaming
In August, during Nate's birthday, Pixar created and 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 and re-distributed, including Soul, Luca and Turning Red. Following it, they are producing The Conker Movie, based on Conker's Bad Fur Day with Microsoft Studios and Point Grey Pictures with the studio releasing and distributing it. 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 done by the studio in collaboration with NY-based Trollbäck+Co. with a new sonic identity composed by YouTooCanWoo and Travis Scott, who will later voice as the titular character. HudsonMedia announces that they are also sharing the Pixar library with Paramount and Comcast's NBCU for True, in which they joint-ventured.

The road to completion and what's next for HudsonMedia's future
In September, HudsonMedia's on the brink of the completion of the Pixar acquisition with Pixar CFO Pete Docter telling The Los Angeles Times what's next for HudsonMedia and Pixar's future after they completed the deal. The company completed the Pixar acquisition on this said month and has announced that they are expanding Pixar, like Pixar Television Animation, Emeryville, the live-action Pixar Studios, and more. HudsonMedia announced that they're rebranding as Pixar from HudsonMedia and The Conker Movie was released to celebrate the completion of the Hudson-Pixar acquisition.
