By the mid-1980s, Walt Disney’s fabled animation studios had fallen on hard times. These conditions had produced a series of box office flops and led to pessimistic forecasts. Waking Sleeping Beauty isn’t a fairy tale but rather the true story of how Disney regained its magic with a staggering output of hits: The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, and more. Directed by Don Hahn, this documentary brings an insider’s knowledge to this comeback and a fascinating perspective on what took place within the creative ranks as well as among the leadership team of Michael D. Eisner, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and Roy Disney. Admission is $6 for all University of Miami faculty, staff, and alumni; free for students. General admission is $8. The film screens on Friday, April 23 at 8:45 p.m.; Saturday, April 24 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.; and Sunday, April 25 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. For more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com.
