Late To The Party, But ...

It's better to be an attendee than not.

... Blue Sky Studios has hired its first female director, Karen Disher. And it’s not the only first for the studio: Disher will helm Blue Sky’s first feature-length musical, tenetatively titled Foster.

Ms. Disher certainly has the experience and resume to direct features. In the animation business over twenty years, she's storyboarded on a plethora of features, directed long-form television animation and theatrical shorts, supervised story development on Rio.

She'll be co-directing with Steve Martino, and it's high time a woman was in the pilot house at Blue Sky. Anytime the Boys' Club gets diluted a little it's a useful thing.
