We recently watched a documentary called, Waking Sleeping Beauty. It is a documentary on the changes Disney animation has gone through over the last few decades. After having success with old cartoons such as Robin Hood & Snow White, the company had to go through a major change and shift to keep up with the times.
The movie shows how involved Roy Disney was in the company and also how bringing on new talent(Jeffrey Katzenberg & Michael Eisner) changed the company. They also show the musical talent that was brought on to bring new animation to life(Elton John/Lion King) and how Disney continues to evolve itself. A partnership with Pixar is one way that the company has stayed relevant.
Overall, the movie was pretty interesting but a little boring. If you are a die-hard Disney fan, I'm sure you will love it.
