Trailblazing Women of Animation
Author and Historian Mindy Johnson takes you behind the celluloid curtain into the widely unseen world of ink pens, paintbrushes, pigments, pencils and pixels.

This landmark event features a once-in-a-lifetime panel of trailblazing and award-winning women, including Academy Award-winning director, Brenda Chapman; DreamWorks Animation studio head, Bonnie Arnold; and leading artists who worked on such classics as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Fantasia, Sleeping Beauty, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, The Little Mermaid, Toy Story, The Lion King, Brave, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, How To Train Your Dragon and many more! Presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, with an introduction by Randy Haberkamp, Managing Director of Preservation and Foundation Programs at the Academy.
