Watching the film "Waking Sleeping Beauty" was incredibly entertaining. Not only because it was about Disney and how they makes their animation films, which were a staple for a lot of us as children, but also because the filmmakers made the film fun and easy to follow. Although it showed many of the bad times that Disney went through, it also showed the good times. It really opened my eyes on how animation films were made back in the 80's and 90's. It was a real craft to sit down for hours with nothing but pencils, paper and paint, and make wonderful, exciting and creative characters jump off the paper and inspire thousands of people. I personally enjoyed watching the film because it showcased many of my favorite Disney films and brought back fond childhood memories. To learn more about the struggles and tribulations that the company went through, as well as showing the basic framework about how the company works, really intrigued me.
Although I was meant to stay objective about the film, the fact that it was about Disney made it much more difficult to lok at it from an unbiased perspective. Thinking about it now, I can't really see anything that was talked about in the film to be anything but true. They talked about the rough situations that the animators and the executives went through, as well as the triumphs with the success of "The Little Mermaid" and "Beauty and the Beast." The film was short enough to not bore, yet long enough to divulge the information about what happened between those ten years.
