Kung Fu Panda 2’s Jennifer Yuh Nelson Becomes Highest Grossing Female Director

Posted on September 9, 2011 by Ernie

“DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. today announced that its summer blockbuster, Kung Fu Panda 2, has grossed over $650 million globally to date, making Jennifer Yuh Nelson the highest-grossing female director of a film at the worldwide box office.” Yay! Well, half-yay, since the top movies directed by women have all been animated or animated/live-action hybrid movies – the “friendliest environment for women directors, as if Hollywood feels that that’s a safe zone in which to hand women the keys to the car.”
