Some general thoughts

I was reading an article about Pixar, and it brought up that none of the Pixar films have a female lead character. I had never noticed this before and was shocked.. one because I didnt notice.. and two I thought why havent they created a female lead... Are they sexist..? or is it just there hasn't been a film directed by a woman at Pixar? Maybe they are worried they will lose ratings if there is a female lead character... girls are happy to watch films no matter what gender the character is (when it comes to animated films) but I think boys won't want to watch it as much as they may be seen as a loser or whatever. It makes me also worry about jobs for women in this industry. I know there are many jobs like animators, compositors etc that a lot a women have careers in.. but why haven't we aimed higher? Why has every film by pixar been directed by a man. Surely we have just as much storytelling ability and imagination as men?

I have always thought it would be amazing to work for pixar.. but what if they don't encourage you to go further and push yourself or don't think you are as good as the male animation graduate next to you?
