In some ways or another, the struggles and triumph behind Walt Disney Animation studios is just as climatic as the animated films they created itself. Its hard to imagine that before the Disney Renaissance era when the studio was at its top of the game, establishing a reputation synonymous for magical wonderment and quality storytelling, was once on the very brink of shutting down and what would have rob us a string of animated classics like The Lion King. The documentary Waking Sleeping Beauty takes us inside the compelling history of the Mouse house, chronicling the series of events between 1984 and 1994 and shedding some light on its decline and its greatest successes with intimate interviews from the biggest name in animation and some revealing never-before-seen home videos. Those who enjoyed The Pixar Story and Dream On Silly Dreamer, both similar documentary on the internal workings in animation will most definitely be interested in this.
