A collaboration with Pixar is among the projects.

The Walt Disney Company today announced an overall first-look deal with Colin Kaepernick’s production arm Ra Vision Media. The partnership will focus on telling scripted and unscripted stories that explore race, social injustice and the quest for equity, and will provide a new platform to showcase the work of Black and Brown directors and producers. The first-look deal will extend across all Walt Disney Platforms including Walt Disney Television, ESPN, Hulu, Pixar, and The Undefeated. Kaepernick will work closely with The Undefeated, which is expanding its portfolio across Disney, to develop stories from the perspective of Black and Brown communities.

I’m happy for him. He’s been put through the ringer, he deserves it.

To be honest, those kind of stories are the most boring type I know, especially in animation. If you're a "black or brown" director that finally gets the chance to create a movie, why not use the opportunity to explore other topics than racial and social issues? But there there is probably a market for it.

For those of you like me who don't follow sports, Wikipedia says: "The Undefeated is a sports and pop culture website owned and operated by ESPN."
