Retta Scott was the first woman to be credited as an animator for her
work on Disney's Bambi. That was almost 80 years ago yet women are still
underrepresented in animation. In 2012, women made up only 17.7 percent of
the Animation Guild. The good news: Now, a quarter of the Guild's members
are women, and when we look at the younger demographic, the percentage
rises further. There's still much work to be done, but let's celebrate today by
acknowledging a few talented women in animation!
