Pixar lets woman direct movie

Pixar is pretty well known for being a dudefest. All of its movies have had male leads, while some bro-downs like Up had almost no ladies whatsoever.

That's changing, however, with Brave, a movie which not only stars a female protagonist -- a tomboy princess who would rather shoot arrows than wear a tiara -- but also Pixar's first female writer/director, Brenda Chapman. 

Look how happy she is:

Teeth clenchingly so. If you're excited about Pixar's belated estrogen injection, simmer down -- you've still got to wait, as the movie won't be released until June 15, 2012.
