Animation is capable of telling fantastic fictions that no medium can match. But sometimes, the fact behind the fiction is an amazing story in and of itself.
That’s the case with Waking Sleeping Beauty, a new documentary from animator Don Hahn that recounts the revival of animation at Walt Disney Studios in the 1980s and 1990s, using audio interviews and archival footage to tell its tale.
The film ‘ released by Disney ‘ opens Friday in limited release in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and Chicago, and should be on the must-see list of every animator and animation fan.
Here’s an exclusive webisode, offering a look at the early days of the Disney revival.
As a bonus for opening weekend, Hahn and producer Peter Schneider will be appearing for post-screening Q&A sessions.
