* AshFace: To illustrate how Howard Ashman felt when co-director Kirk Wise shot down his idea for ''Beauty and the Beast'''s prologue [[note]]specifically, The Beast starting as a little naughty boy because Ashman thought that was tragic. Trousdale and Wise, on the other hand, thought it made The Beast pre-enchantress an [[Series/TheMunsters Eddie Munster]] {{Expy}}, which they told Ashman they felt was "kind of a cheap shot" [[/note]], a caricature of Ashman [[BewareTheNiceOnes getting angry]] and breathing fire on him was shown.

Added DiffLines:

* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Concerned about the dark and frightening content in Disney's upcoming ''WesternAnimation/TheBlackCauldron'', Katzenberg remarked that they'd have to edit some of it out; the directors protested, saying that "you can't edit an animated movie", as the reasons to them were obvious -- hand-drawn animation's not like live-action where you can do reshoots, as the story has already been meticulously planned and boarded, and throwing out even a single finished scene and remaking it would mean months of work. Katzenberg, patronizingly, responded that ''[[MathematiciansAnswer you can,]]'' and offered to take them to the editing booth and show them how it was done. The exchange would mark a significant source of friction at the company for the next decade: Katzenberg was first and foremost an executive, not an artist, while the animation department had become accustomed to freer rein in the decades under Ron Miller and Roy E. Disney.

* HappilyEverBefore: The documentary ends at the peak of the Disney Renaissance during ''Disney/TheLionKing'''s release, just before the beginning of the company's slow decline and the emergence of Pixar and other animation studios that would eventually erode the status of traditional animation. It even acknowledges in the film's introduction that the company's greatest success also marked the beginning of the end of its second golden era, and Wells' tragic death and Katzenberg's departure from Disney adds a bittersweet tone to an otherwise upbeat ending.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Jeffrey Katzenberg. For example, he comforted Mike Gabriel after he pulled advertising for ''Disney/TheRescuersDownUnder'' after it tanked opening weekend and realized the plights of the staff when they addressed their problems to him. The animators had a fierce love-hate relationship with him throughout his entire stay due to his nature as this trope.

* TitleDrop: A variation courtesy of Katzenberg, according to Hahn. He said in an interview around ''Disney/TheBlackCauldron'' that "we've got to wake Disney/SleepingBeauty." ''Cauldron'' director Joe Hale didn't take kindly to this, stating Sleeping Beauty '''was''' awake. ''Cauldron'' proved to be a CreatorKiller for Hale; he was terminated by Disney/Katzenberg not too long after this (he quickly took co-director Creator/RichardRich with him when Rich also acted negatively towards another new Disney executive, namely, Peter Schneider, the co-producer of this documentary. Neither man were interviewed for the film).
