Flagged. This is a lot of biased rambling. Assigning arbitrary low scores because the main character's never female? Maybe the fact that Pixar has a strong male team of writers/animators makes them feel like they are better able to write from the male perspective? Or is it sexist for men to favor writing men? Why don't more female writer/animators enter the scene? Then to knock them for finally <i>having</i> a female lead because it's a fairy tale? Christ.<p>Why not pick on Dreamworks? They don't have that many female lead movies either, not in their animation. And David Lynch didn't have many female leads either, not until his movie with the lesbian lovemaking scene. Coen Brothers? Stanley Kubrick? All sexists?
I feel the need to pull up a quote from the comments, attributed to a Pixar executive (in a social setting):<p><i>"Gee," he said, "that's something we wrestle with all the time. We're very aware of it and we're trying to change. But sometimes it's just so hard to find a way to justify adding a female character to the story."</i><p>If that quote doesn't singlehandedly demonstrate the accuracy of this article's analysis, I don't know what evidence possibly could.
