If HudsonMedia acquired Pixar

The acquisition of Pixar Animation Studios by HudsonMedia Entertainment Corp. 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 Nathaniel Hudson-Monta Baptiste, filmmaker, director, actor, producer, screenwriter, founder, President, and CEO of his company, HudsonMedia Studios sent a letter, efforting to separate and acquire Pixar from Disney after in late 2022, its employees slammed 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 and The Hollywood Reporter reported that HudsonMedia Entertainment was in talks with James Morris to buy Pixar for $3.14 billion 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 the studio became the new home of Natesworld, which Nate also owned and, as an animated web series, was remained on YouTube.

Failure to a deal and an executive lawsuit
The Walt Disney Company, The Walt Disney Studios 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. As a result of the Hudson-Pixar acquisition, Ed Catmull resigned as president of WDAS given his memory of Pixar's suspension of the deal after former CEO Michael Eisner could not keep up and was forced to find new distribution deals. This gave CEO Bob Iger the opportunity to come up with an acquisition idea so the company can keep Pixar as its subsidiary after he heard rumors about Hudson's Pixar deal. He had to propose a deal with Nathaniel if he's intrested about selling most of HudsonMedia's assets for $2.5 billion, which include HudsonMedia Studios, HudsonMedia Television Studios, as well as its TV networks like Hudson, and HudsonUltra, with the exclusion of Luna, and Hudson News Network with Nexstar giving a 45% stake. 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 Iger 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 it was 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 Ratatouille and WDAS 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 that they are changing to "Pixar from HudsonMedia" with 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 The Conker Movie was released to celebrate the completion of the Hudson-Pixar acquisition.
