Waking Sleeping Beauty Trailer -- For more movie news, trailers, and interviews go to http://www.collider.com --

From 1984 to 1994, a perfect storm of people and circumstances changed the face of animation forever.

Waking Sleeping Beauty is no fairytale. It is a story of clashing egos, out of control budgets, escalating tensions... and one of the most extraordinary creative periods in animation history.

Director Don Hahn and producer Peter Schneider, key players at Walt Disney Studios Feature Animation department during the mid1980s, offer a behind-the-magic glimpse of the turbulent times the Animation Studio was going through and the staggering output of hits that followed over the next ten years. Artists polarized between the hungry young innovators and the old guard who refused to relinquish control, mounting tensions due to a string of box office flops, and warring studio heads create the backdrop for this fascinating story told with a unique and candid perspective from those that were there. Through interviews, internal memos, home movies, and a cast of characters featuring Michael Eisner, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Roy Disney, alongside an amazing array of talented artists that includes Don Bluth, John Lasseter, and Tim Burton, Waking Sleeping Beauty shines a light on Disney Animations darkest hours, greatest joys and its improbable renaissance.

An Official Selection at the 2009 Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and winner of the Audience Award at the Hamptons International Film Festival, Waking Sleeping Beauty is directed by Don Hahn, and produced by Peter Schneider and Don Hahn.

  • John Lasseter: Hi Tim

    Tim Burton: *Beep* Off I'm working!

  • @Fuzzyhairdudefuzz XD exactly these films are trash. aladin, beauty and the beast, the little mermaid or lion king are true masterpieces!

  • There was only one thing that could stop it all........Margaritas.

  • this documentary is just AMAZING!!! ^_^ I recommend everyone to see it! :P

  • i get goose flesh watchin' this

  • The sad thing is, all those unused animations back in the day were thrown out, left on the floor and torn as shown. Now they are worth hundreds if not thousands. If only the animators and studios realized just how important those drawings were.

  • Why is it that Disney thinks everything they've made at the beginning of 2000

    has been rubbish?

    Of all the Disney movies made, my favourite ever was Treasure Planet.

    The Princess & The Frog, Atlantis, Tangled, Brother Bear, Lilo & Stitch..

    Do they really think all those masterpieces were awful?

    All artists are like that, but for an animation "Studio"?

    I don't even..

  • omg! its tim burton!!!

    *big fan*

  • why do i feel uneasy watchin this

  • very interesting.
