"It wasn't until the study that I went back and realized there's only one toy that's a female character, and it's Bo-Peep. She's standing at the window going, 'Oh, Woody, don't hurt yourself,'" Kelly said. "Not that I want 'Toy Story' to be changed. I don't think there should be any sort of gender formula. But there are other movies to be made with powerful messages featuring female characters."

Jeez o man... Toy Story was about the toys owned by a 10 year old(ish) BOY.... what female toys do you expect a 10 year old boy to own? Ten year old boys toys consist of things like, army men, cars, tanks, trucks, baseball gloves, baseball bats, basketballs, nerf, guns, etc etc etc... You go and try to stick a few gal toys in there just to be PC and the story loses credibility.

PIXAR has made great films, but of course was just bought by Disney so expect them to go to pot by 1000 PC papercuts.

It may work the other way around, John Lassiter now has control over all Disney animation. I think Disney will improve dramatically as a result.
