John Lasseter,
chief architect of Disney's
Pixar Animation Studios and the writer and director of
Toy Story and countless other modern animated classics, is
taking a six-month leave of absence over undisclosed "missteps" with employees, according to a memo circulated Tuesday and obtained by
Mashable.
Lasseter's statement to employees did not detail any misconduct, saying only that "It’s been brought to my attention that I have
made some of you
feel disrespected or uncomfortable" and adding: "I especially want to apologize to anyone who has ever been on the receiving end of an unwanted hug or any other gesture they felt crossed the line."
