Wow.....just saw it today, it was awesome...
I absolutely loved it.
If you haven't seen it you should. It's a great behind the scenes story about what happened from 1984-1994

OK I just looked it up, it seems its a movie talking about the turning around of Disney moives.

From thier website:

By the mid-1980s, the fabled animation studios of Walt Disney had fallen on hard times. The artists were polarized between newcomers hungry to innovate and old timers not yet ready to relinquish control. These conditions produced a series of box-office flops and pessimistic forecasts: maybe the best days of animation were over. Maybe the public didn't care. Only a miracle or a magic spell could produce a happy ending. Waking Sleeping Beauty is no fairy tale. It's the true story of how Disney regained its magic with a staggering output of hits - "Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast ," "Aladdin," "The Lion King," and more - over a 10-year period

It's a movie that chronicles Disney's re-emergence as a power in animated films. It covers the period 1984-1994.

it's a documentary by the director of The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast. basically it's a bunch of home movies of the animators, and then voice overs explaining how they went from almost being shut down in 1984 to it's success in 1994. It talks about the inner successes, fights, etc.
it's very interesting!!

I got this DVD for Christmas and absolutely loved it! I have been reading about Disney history and lore the past few years and this was in line with much of what I have been reading.

It's really interesting! If you are even a little bit interested in the behind the scenes of the movies that came out during that time period, I highly recommend! :thumbsup:

The story was interesting enough, but to see some of the old footage of the studios was great!
