I have waited almost my entire lifetime for answers to questions I have had about my favorite movie of all time. At last they are here! With a movie which had such extraordinary chemistry between all of its actors and actresses, which showcased the Disney technicians in their fields of costume, art direction, and special effects, at the very top of their game, Disney studios had to be a fun and happy environment to work in. This documentary catches all of that, along with a few surprises. Who could have guessed that the story of the movie was not conceived by a Hollywood scriptwriter, but by a couple of tune smiths in the early stages of their career? But they had the trust of a visionary, Walt Disney, who understood talent when he saw it, and, as a result, the movie which has been called his masterpiece was created. The only question I am left with, one which I doubt Walt himself had any real answer for, is how on earth were they going to shoot the dropped scene containing the song "The Chimpanzoo"? Oh well . . .
