Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  He kōrero: I muri i te matenga o tana hoa rangatira i te 20 o ona tau, ka piri atu a Lee ki tana tuahine a Amy. Tata ki te 30 tau te pakeke, ka uru ia ki te Whare Wananga o Columbia mo nga Toi me te whiwhi i te Tohu Paetahi Toi Pai i te kiriata. I reira ka tutaki ia ki a Phil Johnston, tana hoa tuhituhi a muri ake nei mo Wreck-It Ralph. I puta a Lee mai i Columbia i te 2005 ka noho ki New York City, i reira ia i whakawhanake i tetahi papamuri i roto i te kiriata mahi-tino, i mahi hei kaiawhina kaiwhakahaere me te kaiwhakanao o te kiriata poto i te 2004, "A Thousand Words".I te Maehe 2011, i karanga a Johnston ki a Lee kia tono atu ki a ia kia uru atu ki a ia i Disney Animation i Burbank hei awhina i a ia ki te tuhi i a Wreck-It Ralph. Ko te mea i whakaarohia he mahi tuhituhi mo te wā poto, e waru wiki, i te mutunga ka huri hei taunahatanga roa ake. Tuatahi, i tonoa ia kia noho ki te mahi kia oti ra ano a Ralph. I uru atu ia ki Frozen, i te tuatahi hei kaituhi me muri mai hei kaiwhakahaere tahi me Chris Buck. I te wa i kawea mai ai a Lee ki runga, i awhina ia ki te huri i te kiriata mai i te mahi-mahi ki te "nui atu i te puoro, me te nui ake o te whakakatakata". I mahi tahi ia me nga kaituhi waiata (Robert Lopez me Kristen Anderson-Lopez) i te tuhi i te tuhinga. I whakawhiwhia e Frozen ki a ia te whai waahi ki te whakanui i nga kotiro "pango me te whakamiharo" penei i a ia i a ia i a ia e tamariki ana, me tana tamahine, a Agatha. Koia hoki te pikitia tino nui rawa atu ki te kaiwhakahaere wahine i runga i nga whiwhinga a-whare, tae noa ki te Warner Bros.' Wonder Woman. I te Mei 17, 2014, i tukuna e Lee te korero tiimata ki te akomanga o 2014 i tana alma mater, te Whare Waananga o New Hampshire. I whakakitea e ia kua whawhai ia ki te ruarua i a ia e tipu ana, a, i te Paenga-whāwhā o tana tau tuarua o te kaareti, i mate tana hoa rangatira i roto i te aitua poti, i muri i tana "kore ruarua, he pouri noa iho... a mo tetahi wa poto... [i mohio] he pai ake te whakapau i te ruarua tuarua". I ngā tau i muri mai, ka āwhina taua maharatanga ki a ia ki te wikitōria i tōna pōhēhē tuatahi mēnā e tika ana ia ki te tono ki Columbia. I Columbia, i mohio a Johnston he pukenga ia engari kaore i te maia, ana i tetahi ra ka tono ia ki a ia kia "whakaari... ka waiho e koe...  Pātai: He aha te tohu i eke ai ia?
