Jennifer Lee Steps Down as Disney Animation’s Chief Creative to Make ‘Frozen’ Sequels
Lee was named CCO of the animation studio in 2018, following the departure of John Lasseter. At that time she was additionally writing and directing (with her “Frozen” helming collaborator Chris Buck) “Frozen II,” which opened in 2019 and made $1.45 billion worldwide, though it wasn’t as celebrated as the original.
