Jennifer Lee

She earned a master's degree in fine arts at Columbia University of Arts, where she met Phil Johnston, with whom she wrote the script for Wreck-It Ralph (Ralph the Demolisher in Latin America, Break, Ralph! In Spain). She was later chosen screenwriter for the Disney Animation Frozen movie, but at the end of 2012, she was also announced as director with Chris Buck.

In September 2014, it was announced that Lee and Buck would rejoin to co-direct the short film Frozen Fever, which was released in March 2015. In the same month, they also announced a future sequel to Frozen. Meanwhile, Jennifer Lee wrote the script for A Wrinkle in Time, based on a novel by Madeleine L'Engle.
