Animation has been a boys' club for as long as I can remember (and it was a boys' club way before that. Cal Arts in Valencia now has more women enrolled than men. The animation industry itself? Not so much. ...
Only 3% of animated film directors over the last 12 years were women, while 13% of episodes evaluated across popular animated TV programs from 2018 had female directors. ...
Across 100 popular animated TV series, females comprised 16% of animation directors, 20% of lead animators, and 11% of lead storyboard artists. ...
Women comprise 27% (or thereabouts) of the Animation Guild's active membership. This would include color stylists nd animation checkers (both categories with a large proportion of women). Women in supervisory creative positions are few and far between. This has been true since the start of the industry.
There have been improvements in parts of Cartoonland, but change has been slow.
