“Just after starting on “Cars 2,” I was told by a superior that I would be uninvited from all our weekly art department meetings because Lasseter “has a hard time controlling himself” around young women. I was crushed to have my participation in the filmmaking process –– and subsequently my career trajectory –– thwarted simply because I was female. It was clear that the institution was working hard to protect him, at the expense of women like me.”
Worth a read (I think most people know this now, but Disney owns Pixar, FYI). There’s also a link to the longer essay this was parsed down from at the bottom.
