In 1985 Disney released the animated feature The Black Cauldron (which cost $44 million to make). The film was a box office disaster, being beaten by the likes of The Care Bears Movie. After such a colossal embarressment, Disney Animation almost died. Waking SB documents the triumphant comeback of Disney Animation in the late 80's, told in detail by the key players. The documentary is full of old footage from within the studio, as well as clips from unfinished versions of classics such as The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. Overall an intriguing film, I just wish it had delved a little bit deeper.
