1. Jennifer Yuh Nelson

The director started out as a storyboard artist but is also a character designer and an illustrator. She was soon given the opportunity to direct Kung Fu Panda 2. This made her the first woman and the first Asian-American to solely direct an animated movie. Her film became one of the most financially successful movies directed by a woman, and Nelson became only the second woman to get nominated for an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
