I personally find one of the most fascinating and exciting parts of the animation world. Very rarely is something great on the very first draft and the way animation studios (not just Disney, as I'm sure Pixar, DreamWorks, Blue Sky and others go through a similar process) work through the studio is one of the things that actually attracted me to becoming an animation writer.Marce82 wrote: I agree with some of the comments: it doesn't put Disney in a bad light, but one has to admit it doesn't portray the company as the most desirable place to work at; it doesn't make working for them (as an outsider) a very enticing idea; and overall, it shows how bumpy the process can be, instead of the idealized, pixie-dust-covered, "we magically made this movie and it's wonderful" version of the process.
And Andreas Deja wasn't let go, he chose to abandon the project and work on Lilo & Stitch instead, because he didn't care for the new direction taken with Yzma.
Anyway, I found this to be a very fascinating documentary, especially seeing the animation from Kingdom of the Sun. Watching The Sweatbox, it actually makes me want to see other documentaries on similar troubled projects like Ratatouille, Shrek and Cool World. I know there's one being made about The Thief and the Cobbler.
