The Sweatbox

This documentary captures the struggles and controversies during the making of the animated film 'Kingdom of the Sun,' which was later reworked into 'The Emperor's New Groove.' Trudie Styler, the documentarian, had unique access to the production, allowing her to film key moments, including the elimination of songs by Sting.

With a runtime of 86 minutes, The Sweatbox features commentary from a diverse cast, including musicians and actors such as Tom Jones, Eartha Kitt, and David Spade. The film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival on September 13, 2002, showcasing the challenges faced by the creative team behind the Disney project.

Despite its intriguing content, The Sweatbox remains unreleased on home video or DVD, as Disney retains the rights. This adds a layer of rarity for collectors who seek out unique documentaries that explore the complexities of filmmaking.
