Is Hollywood Trending towards Gender Parity in Movie Creation and Presentation?

Abstract

This study focused on the behind-the-scenes composition of the moviemaking process using the 150 top-grossing animated films from 1991-2023. Hollywood has relied on male hegemony to maintain a status quo on-screen and off-screen. However, male and female insiders of the industry have decried this practice in recent history. This study focused on the behind-the-scenes composition of the moviemaking process, as well as the outcomes that appear on-screen. Lastly, this study analyzed how gross income was affected. In addition to analyzing movies year-by-year, the analysis was conducted decade-by-decade to determine trends since year-by-year analysis might not produce noticeable differences.
