In a new video produced for International Women’s Day 2021, DreamWorks Animation President Margie Cohn introduces fans of the studio’s hit series and features to the “talented, smart, multifaceted women who help bring [their] diverse characters and stories to life.”
Checking in from scattered remote workspaces, creative and capable women working across the animation pipeline on projects including The Boss Baby: Family Business, The Croods: A New Age, Gabby’s Dollhouse, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, Fast and Furious: Spy Racers and Spirit Untamed recorded messages sharing lessons from their own career journeys, discuss the importance of creating diverse, strong and realistic female characters and (along with some male colleagues) #ChooseToChallenge the status quo to create a gender equitable future.
Because, Cohn says: “When we all choose to challenge ourselves and address generations of learned assumptions, that’s when we can create the biggest change.”
