Has this been mentioned yet? Waking Sleeping Beauty is a documentary film about the struggles and successes of the Disney Renaissance. Looks so intriguing! And I’m not a fan of many documentaries, but this is irresistable for a Disney fanatic like me.
EDIT: Link fixed. Sorry guys, last time was the wrong video link. Though it was kinda funny.
Yea, it is a Documentery, I guess it’s the history of Disney, because it’s got Roy Disney in it, which I think is Walt Disneys son or something
Bradandez, It’s a theater showing movie, Though, I think showing it at the theater would be good
Though, I think it might just be Selected Cinamas Only film, because it’s a documentary, and well, Documentarys ar not that very good with the public.
Though, they say that with 3D Films
TDIT: Whoops, that wasn’t supposed to happen! That’s weird…fixes
It’s a theater showing movie, but I haven’t seen it advertised near me at all. I don’t know all the details for it. I first saw it in a newspaper ad in part of the scrap paper in an art class, and tore out the ad to save for myself. Then I remembered about it.
Anyway, I guess gleefan1 is right. It’s probably only for specific theaters. I don’t know where yet.
I’d like to see it, but I’d have to see it alone, since while my family enjoy Disney films, I’m the only one movie-geeky enough to sit through an entire documentary of it and not fall asleep.
If you click on the button that says “Screenings” on the left-hand side of the page, you’ll get a listing of all the locations where it will be playing.
Although I haven’t seen this film yet, I would certainly love to.
Ooh, I’d love to see this! 'Course, I’d have to drag my friends there too, and there’d have to be a showtime at my theater, so who knows. Maybe it’ll be OnDemand or something in a couple months:)
When this documentary comes out on DVD, I am SO going to rent it and watch it. I love learning about the Disney Renaissance because it’s my favorite part of Disney ever, plus I love most of the movies Disney produced during that period. Though I wish I could have also watched it at a theater. D: Oh well.
I really want to see this. It’s being screened in Minneapolis early September so I think I know a fun field trip for the animation club! Woo! It’ll be like the time we went to see A Pixar Story. We left the theater super inspired.
IncredigirlVirginia: Well, just follow your dreams and keep being inspired by movies and documentaries, like Waking Sleeping Beauty! Some day you can find yourself in similar school!
Just got back from watching Waking Sleeping Beauty. It’s a great documentary, a really insightful look into Disney during it’s second golden age and the period right before it. A lot of focus was on the CEO’s/management and I wish there was a bit more interviews from the animators, but it is still definitely a must see for any Disney fan.
