After years of budget busting box office bombs, the animation branch of Walt Disney Studios was close to closing its door forever. A combination of fresh blood among the artists who drew the pictures and an infusion of cash from a corporate takeover took the drawing departments off life support and lead them to a new golden age, an age that produced new classics like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King. While it certainly celebrates the achievements of the studio, the film doesn’t shy away from shining a harsh light on the power hungry people behind the corporate office doors who almost ruined it all.
