In this Friday, Dec. 9, 2016, photo, Madison Stubbs speaks during the Animated Women symposium at California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, Calif.

Now, nearly three-quarters of CalArts' more than 250 animation students are women, and there's a new goal: Ensure that when they land jobs, they get to draw female characters reflective of the real world and not just the nerds, sex bombs, tomboys or ugly villains who proliferate now.
