Waking Sleeping Beauty is a fascinating documentary about the Disney employees who saved the dynasty from near disaster. Join me, and the fabulous designers of AIGA Charlotte and UNCC, for a look at the artists, creators, animators and storytellers who turned the company around and churned-out our favorite childhood animated films (Little Mermaid anyone!?.... I've got gadget and gizmos of plenty.... I've got whozits and whatzits galore... you want thing-a-ma-bobs? I've got plenty....).

By the mid-1980s, the fabled animation studios of Walt Disney had fallen on hard times. The artists were polarized between newcomers hungry to innovate and old timers not yet ready to relinquish control. These conditions produced a series of box-office flops and pessimistic forecasts: maybe the best days of animation were over. Maybe the public didn't care. Only a miracle or a magic spell could produce a happy ending.
Waking Sleeping Beauty is no fairy tale. It's the true story of how Disney regained its magic with a staggering output of hits - "Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast ," "Aladdin," "The Lion King," and more - over a 10-year period.
Join us as we follow Tim Burton, John Lasseter, Ron Clements, John Musker, Michael Eisner, Roger Allers, Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise, Roy E. Disney, and many others on their magical journey of Waking Sleeping Beauty! www.wakingsleepingbeautymovie.com
