It was an inauspicious night for Disney's animation studios at the 2026 Oscars, as their latest failure to win in the Best Animated Feature category now puts their losing streak at a record-breaking four years.
The winner this year, of course, was Netflix/Sony Pictures Animation phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters, which went on to win Best Song as well, for 'Golden' (obviously). That means Disney's two key branches – Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar – have now gone five years without a win, since Encanto's victory in 2021.
