"Waking Sleeping Beauty" was everything I expected and more. I am always impressed, if not blown away by everything that Disney creates, but this offered a very different side to the story. What the audience doesn't know is what it takes to create the magic that appears on the screens. The average viewer is more interested in singing along with the catchy tunes and wondering what obstacles the protagonist will soon face.
In this case we saw the obstacles of everyone who worked for Disney, from the animators to the CEO. It was amazing to see how the drawers and animators would create the magic by starting with pictures moving, and the transition to digitized animation. We also were given behind the scenes insight of the production of certain movies such as, my personal favorites, "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin".
Seeing the progression of Disney was eye opening. I was born during the Disney Renaissance, when they created ten movies that were all huge hits. From my perspective, Disney was always coming out with the latest and greatest movies. I could hardly fathom a time where Disney struggled to capture the hearts of the audience. Luckily, even though they experienced minor setbacks, the success of Disney prevailed, and Walt Disney would definitely be very proud of what he created almost a hundred years ago.
