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 straming 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 theatres.

In April, CNBC reported that HudsonMedia 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 Viacom deal with CBS, forming ViacomCBS (now Paramount) in December 2019. Hudson also faced heavy competition such as Lionsgate and MGM, along with A24. According to Nathaniel, the company already had a mini-major restructure after they became the new home of Natesworld, which Nate also owned and was remained on YouTube.

The Walt Disney Company is worried about HudsonMedia's ability to acquire Pixar and could result in the studio losing billions of dollars as well as the success of both Disney+ alongside the animation studio, leaving their CEO Robert Iger an idea as he announces that the company is attempting to convince their founder about acquiring HudsonMedia Entertainment, which include HudsonMedia Studios, its television division, and many more, instead to keep Pixar as their owner. However, after a bit further disapproval from their shareholders and a refusal from the founder, the company already gave up on the idea of purchasing the mini-major studio, saying that they were more interested in "sharing" HudsonMedia's library to help the company. Naturally, 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". An hour later, Disney announces to cancel the plans to acquire HudsonMedia after Robert Iger was replaced by Elizabeth Disney, niece of Walt and Roy, founders of the studio.

In June, Pixar announced that they're ending their partnership with Disney for HudsonMedia, however, a lawsuit was filed against the company by a furious Disney shareholder. 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. However, HudsonMedia won the case and countersued the shareholder for perjury and was fined later that year.

In August, during his birthday, Pixar put together a short based on the company's first movie, Twelve as well as the reanimation of Luxo Jr. They are producing Conker! with Xbox Media Studios and Point Grey Pictures in 2030. This could mark as the first Hudson/Pixar animated movie.
