Waking Sleeping Beauty

Waking Sleeping Beauty (2010) -- Documentary. Directed by Don Hahn. Disney veteran Hahn takes a look at the studio's revival, from its nadir in the 1970s, through the '80s and '90s, during which were produced such animation successes as The Little Mermaid, Aladdin,  Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King. This documentary takes a look behind the scene, showing such honchos as Roy Disney, Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg as they struggled behind the scenes to control the direction the studio would go -- and who would get credit for the successes. For Disney fans who are curious about the nuts and bolts of animated film making, it's a great movie to see. (Subtitles in English are available, as well as closed captions.) Grade: B
