From Frozen to the top of Disney

from The Media Show · host BBC Radio 4

Jennifer Lee changed cinema forever when she wrote and directed Frozen. The film won her an Academy Award and she became the first woman to helm a feature film that grossed more than $1bn. She is now Chief Creative Officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios but continues to direct and write, including Disney’s latest release, the computer-animated musical, Wish. In this interview with Katie Razzall, she reflects on her story; how she went from Disney obsessive who used to watch Cinderella to cope with school bullies, to reaching the top of one of the world’s greatest entertainment companies.Produced for BBC Radio 4 by Simon Richardson and for BBC News by Roxanne Panthaki.
