Deserves comparison to the masterpieces of the form, films like Hearts of Darkness and Burden of Dreams, where the focus is on the human toll of the process and not the end result.

The film presents an absolutely fascinating behind-the-scenes picture of just what's behind the story and production process of major animated pictures.

Chances are that it's only going to be in a couple of film festivals and vanish into the ether. What a bummer because it is a treat!

Audience Reviews for Sweatbox

This documentary by Stings wife covers the troubled production of the Disney film "The Emperors New Grove". After several screenings at film festivals about 10 years ago, this was locked away by Disney and recently leaked. Great documentary except it could have done with a lot less Sting.
April 20, 2012
The beginning of the film really excited me as I really had no idea that one of my favourite films of my childhood, The Emperor's New Groove, started out as something completely different, and arguably possibly even more interesting. It's sad that the project got canned, but in a way the film gives a nice in depth look at the editing, critique and analysis of how a Disney animated film is made. It's not as brutally honest as it could have been (the ending side tracked towards just shameless self promotion of "Groove") and I really wish they showed more of the Kingdom of the Sun, but I guess the Disney execs really did think Atlantis, Home on the Range, and Chicken Little were going to all be great home runs, right?
