Growing Up with Nine Old Men

Growing Up with Nine Old Men is a charming documentary that was made for true fans of Disney animation. The film is a glimpse into the personal lives of Disney's legendary animators through the eyes of their children. The reflections of the animators' sons and daughters provide touching anecdotes and fascinating insights into the men behind some of the most iconic characters in animation history.

While the subject matter is compelling, the documentary itself feels a bit slow and seems to lack a cohesive structure. The pacing drags at times, and the film doesn't seem to fully capitalize on the emotional depth or historical weight of its topic. It feels more like an afterthought than a fully developed idea. I only ended up watching the film because it was a special feature with Peter Pan, and while I appreciated the content, it didn't leave a lasting impact or impression.
