Waking Sleeping Beauty: A Dream Documentary

First, check out the trailer for Walt Disney Pictures new documentary, Waking Sleeping Beauty:




Second, I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THIS FILM. The one thing I've always admired about Disney is the magic they create when genuine artistry meets smart business. (And as history has shown, if one exists without the other, a project can fail spectacularly.)

Waking Sleeping Beauty deals with what's commonly called the Disney Renaissance - a time when Walt Disney Animation was defined by its big personalities and even bigger talent. It was a time when Disney redefined its mission, redefined the genre, and made some of the most successful films of all time. And hoo boy, this story is going to make one heck of a documentary. So if you're looking for me on March 26, I'll be in the movie theatre.

Is it getting a more general release? I'd love to see it too.

So far, it only has releases scheduled in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago. But as with most documentaries, I would think that if it does really well in limited release, they will expand the run to include other cities.
