Waking Sleeping Beauty (2011)


Among a batch of fascinating (if sycophantic) documentaries recounting the behind-the-scenes development of the Disney animation studio (see Frank and Ollie and The Boys: The Sherman Brothers’ Story) comes this 90 minute summary of the most fascinating few decades of private enterprise which shaped the face of popular culture. Following the death of Walt Disney this film recounts the fall and rise of the studio as it passed into outsider hands, with deaths, power-struggles and politics this story is fascinating enough to fill a book (Disney War.) This film also makes a compelling prequel to the slightly more lauded The Pixar Story.
