Pixar lets woman direct movie

Pixar is pretty well known for being a dudefest. All of its movies have had male leads, while some bro-downs like Up had almost no ladies whatsoever.
That's changing, however, with Brave, a movie which not only stars a female protagonist -- a tomboy princess who would rather shoot arrows than wear a tiara -- but also Pixar's first female writer/director, Brenda Chapman.
Look how happy she is:
Teeth clenchingly so. If you're excited about Pixar's belated estrogen injection, simmer down -- you've still got to wait, as the movie won't be released until June 15, 2012.

well technically kevin, the bird in Up is a female. but yeah i agree, it's about damn time.
"All of its movie have had male leads" ???
Calm down, bearman33.
They "let" her direct. Isn't that cute. Let's make a big deal about these things for another 50 years or so.
And their is a woman in Up. Try watching it.
The one who dies at the very beginning? Oh, thank you. Next to the old man, kid, rival, and every animal but the crazy, nonvocal bird, we might've had to call in male privilege on this one.
Hey my one almost qualm with Pixar is ending. Sweet! Although, it's not like Pixar has been notoriously anti-woman.
G Unit, try looking up the word "almost."
G Unit, "there" not "their."
Fantastic title on this scan.
Hekcvua good job. I sure appreciate it.
