Growing Up with Nine Old Men is a charming dive into the world of Disney animation, seen through the eyes of Ted Thomas, the son of Frank Thomas. The documentary captures a unique blend of nostalgia and personal storytelling, as Ted visits the families of Disney's legendary Nine Old Men. It’s a thoughtful exploration of what it meant to grow up alongside these animation pioneers. There's a warmth in the interviews and home footage that feels both intimate and revealing. The pacing is laid-back, allowing for those sweet anecdotes to breathe. It’s less about the technical mastery of animation and more about the human connections behind the art. A nice piece for anyone interested in the legacy of Disney storytelling and the personal histories interwoven within it.
