This article is a great rundown of Pixar and Disney, but while the latter did publish Pixar’s movies through the nineties and early naughties they had very little creative influence over them - especially compared to what would come post acquisition. Even the four “transitional” films (that had already begun production in 2006) are clearly more Pixar than Disney.
The point is that Disney is famously child/family friendly and that they had influence on the film, thats why a direct reference to suicide in the first 5m is especially surprising: Disney let it happen
Pixar actually being the ones who made it is entirely irrelevant to my point and also incredibly basic film trivia
Pixar wasn’t owned by them, but they were contractually obligated to be making movies for and with Disney
