When Disney started to dismantle its traditional animation studio, effects animator Dan Lund decided to document the stories of the recently laid-off Disney animators. Almost four years later, his videotaped interviews became the documentary Dream On Silly Dreamer, produced by fellow Disney animator Tony West, and focusing on the closing of Disney's traditional feature animation studios.
