• Jennifer Lee was head of Disney Animation Studios (the mainline) since 2018, and is responsible for most of the Frozen stuff.
• So that means Frozen II, Raya, Encanto, Strange World, and Wish were all made under her tenure
• and only one of those was good.
• She is stepping down to direct Frozen III and Frozen IV and give them actual stories this time, and Jared Bush (the man who made the only good movie up there, Encanto), is now head of the Animation Studio.
