Pixar stories initially skewed towards boys, by and large, and so their merchandising (and a massive part of their revenue chain) skewed towards boys. Now with Disney as an owner—who, by and large, merchandises best with girls—it might simply be a divide-and-conquer approach to brands. Wonder if it has anything to do with toy merchandising.

And yet. Jonathan, your daughter is awesome. Ian, on our DVD of Kiki’s delivery service, when you play the movie you have to sit through John Lasseter pontificating on how much he loves the movie.

John Lasseter and all of PIXAR are gigantic Ghibli fans and Im surprised they have barely done a film with a girl character while nearly all of Miyazakis films have the female lead. Truly remarkable.

She told me that's why she loved the recent Monsters vs. Aliens. She's right—it has a BIG female lead.
