Posted: 10/10/10 at 9:24pmIf you are a fan of Disney animated films as I am, you will want to see this movie. I saw it this afternoon and it was great. It covers the decade of 1984-1994 and how Disney was in a finacial mess until they struck gold with the likes of Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King. I also found it interesting how they explained the transition from producing traditional animated films to computer animated films and how much of a risk it was investing in their first computer system. The Rescuers Down Under was the first fully computer animated film from Disney paving the way for Beauty and the Beast. I highly recommend this film and look forward to buying it on dvd.

Posted: 10/10/10 at 9:30pmMy school had a screening last year that was followed by a Q&A with Don Hahn and Peter Schneider. It was, for lack of a better word, magical. A superb documentary that I highly recommend. And not just to Disney fans-anyone will enjoy this.

How did you see this? It's not on DVD until November...
Is it still playing at a theater in your area??
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

It just opened at a theatre in my area last Friday. I saw it at the Kendall Square Cinema in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
