A study by the Annenberg School of Communication commissioned by See Jane (http://www.seejane.org), examined the one hundred and one top-grossing G-rated films of the last fifteen years, most of which were animated, and found that the vast majority of characters in these films were male.
Animation Guild statistics show that only 16% of people working in creative or rendering jobs in animation are women.
