    A fascinating behind-the-scenes look at Disney as the films that defined my childhood were created, which brought the studio back to life despite a clear power struggle at the top.

    Vividly captures a period of movie history. It's just that the period seems less vital -- sleepier, if you will -- than it once did.

    Don Hahn's documentary is an animator's attempt to invigorate what is otherwise a dry story.

    Surprisingly hard-hitting and revealing. The topic is a bit specialized to draw a wide audience, but those who see the movie will definitely enjoy the intrigue depicted.
