By the mid-1980s, the fabled animation studios of Walt Disney had fallen on hard times. The artists were polarized between newcomers hungry to innovate and old timers not yet ready to relinquish control. These conditions produced a series of box-office flops and pessimistic forecasts: maybe the best days of animation were over. Maybe the public didn't care. Only a miracle or a magic spell could produce a happy ending. Waking Sleeping Beauty is no fairy tale. It's the true story of how Disney regained its magic with a staggering output of hits - "Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast ," "Aladdin," "The Lion King," and more - over a 10-year period.

Top Critics Reviews

More Belle, more Ariel, more Simba -- and less of Eisner and Co. -- would have made a more interesting movie.

It's a not-so-great movie about some great movies.
– Moira MacDonald,

fresh:
A few too many industry asides, but filled with behind-the-scenes moments.
– Joe Neumaier,

rotten:
Sly retrospective exercise in corporate self-congratulation masquerading as an insider's tell-all.
– Stephen Holden,

fresh:
Even in its sanitized state, this movie about the generational revolt that reinvigorated Disney's animation department in the 1980s and '90s is fascinating
