EAST COAST PREMIERE, 2ND US SHOWING
Once upon a time, more than 1300 animators worked for the Walt Disney Company. They did not live happily ever after. This uniquely drawn sketchbook documentary pays homage to classic Winnie The Pooh shorts as it tells the artists’ stories of love and loss. Contemporaneously recorded while the first workers in California are let go (to be followed by those in Paris, Tokyo, and Orlando), this film captures the predictable pain and confusion that are common to layoffs at any company. The difference is that these firings mark the beginning of the end of the 75-year tradition of hand-drawn animation art around which Walt built his entire company.
