  8. Sleeping Beauty

  9. Disney moves into the 1960s • Sleeping Beauty: stylistic shift that led to renewed interest in features through 1960shttp://youtu.be/CfsyUyi_FJM • High expense of features, however, led to economic losses—and did not recoup costs until decades after original release • 1962: Disney shut down the short subject department, focusing attention on television and feature films • Expansion into television coincided with decline in both revenue and quality of output
