SYNOPSIS
From 1984 to 1994, a perfect storm of people and circumstances changed the face of animation forever. Waking Sleeping Beauty is no fairy tale. It’s the true story of how Disney regained its magic with a staggering output of hits: ‘The Little Mermaid,’ ‘Beauty and the Beast,’ ‘Aladdin,’ ‘The Lion King’ and more, over a 10-year period. Director Don Hahn and Producer Peter Schneider bring their insider knowledge to Waking Sleeping Beauty. Their film offers a fascinating and candid perspective of what happened in the creative ranks set against the dynamic tensions among the top leadership, Michael Eisner, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Roy Disney (the nephew of Walt).
