Leave your thoughts about Waking Sleeping Beauty.
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittIt's not one of those documentaries whose appeal stretches beyond people who are already interested in the subject, but animation buffs will eat it up. |

| Time OutDavid FearThe film’s tendency to wax sentimental occasionally undermines its authority, but you won’t find better behind-the-scenes looks at the era’s mouse-eared power struggles or at the making of modern Disney classics. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereFeaturing interviews with such luminaries as Tim Burton, John Lasseter, Don Bluth, Michael Eisner, the late Howard Ashman, the irascible Roy Disney and others, the film is a self-congratulatory dud. |
| AV ClubTasha RobinsonA surprisingly intimate behind-the-scenes documentary. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe joy of cartoons meets the agony of office politics in this fascinating, inside- Hollywood-baseball documentary. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubThe movie turns from good to great as the layers are peeled away and director Hahn provides an insider's look at the creative epicenter of the studio. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranIt's got a terrific inside Hollywood sensibility plus an unblinking candor that lets the chips fall where they should. Which, given who made it, is something of a pleasant surprise. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. Anderson[The] film manages to appear satisfyingly objective and observant, rather than just an official studio document patting itself on the back. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesEven in its sanitized state, this movie about the generational revolt that reinvigorated Disney's animation department in the 1980s and '90s is fascinating |
