It's pretty profound stuff for a movie with a talking snowman.Īnd the actual physical production, at the end of a journey that started several years before filming began, is just as engrossing. The parallels between the film and Lee's life are just as explicitly drawn: this is a movie about two female characters who battle their own insecurities and lead by example. Buck named a character in the movie Ryder, who exhibits many of the personality traits his young son had, and "Do the Next Right Thing," the song sung by Anna towards the end of the movie, is a metaphor for moving through the crippling depression Buck felt. These interludes not only allow us to see them as fully dimensional people, but it also deeply informs the production of Frozen 2. One truly hilarious moment shows Lee scrambling to help her daughter with her homework while, you know, working on what would ultimately become the highest-grossing animated feature of all time. (The documentary sidesteps the Lasseter of it all.) Lee is incredibly vulnerable in the documentary as well, showing the struggles of a single mother with a lot on her plate.
He was in recovery after a year-long battle with stage 4 testicular cancer.) And with Lee, you see her step into a leadership position at Walt Disney Animation Studios as chief creative office after the ousting of John Lasseter following allegations of sexual misconduct.
(It’s really tragic he was only 23 and was killed when two cars struck him on the freeway after his car had broken down. We see Buck and his family as they grapple with the loss of their son Ryder shortly before the first film was completed in the fall of 2013.
Both Lee and Buck are richly sketched, here, and the documentary wisely follows them into areas of their personal lives.
