]]> Animation company Pixar has released their first short film from the new SparkShorts program they recently launched. The film is titled Purl and it covers the story of a female ball of yarn who starts a new job at a male-dominated office. In 8 short minutes, we get to see her dealing with gender equality issues in the workplace, which is a common struggle for many women today.

Creator Kristen Lester knows very well what it’s like to be the only female in the office. “My first job, I was like the only woman in the room, and so in order to do the thing that I loved, I sort of became one of the guys,” she shares. “And then I came to Pixar, and I started to work on teams with women for the first time, and that actually made me realize how much of the female aspect of myself I had sort of buried and left behind.”

See the film below.
