the magic behind disney

it is absolutely inspiring to see documentaries with such passion that almost always i get choked up just thinking about it. since i can remember, disney has consistently captured the true essence of adventure and beauty (ie: beauty and the beast, little mermaid, lion king.) but what we dont know is the story of how the multi-million dollar animation company came to be.

firstshowing says: Waking Sleeping Beauty is directed by Disney producer Don Hahn and features a behind-the-scenes look at Disney Animation during that 10 year period and what they had to go through to make movies. Beyond that, it has a fascinating look at the power struggle between then-Disney execs Jeffrey Katzenberg, Michael Eisner and Roy E. Disney (who passed away recently.) This is, hands down, a must see documentary for anyone that loves Disney or anyone that wants to see a honest and intimate look at the world of Disney Animation. Disney is bringing Waking Sleeping Beauty to limited theaters starting on March 26th this spring. See it!
