The documentary I chose was The Sweatbox, the shunned unofficial Disney documentary on the scrapping of The Sun Kingdom and hurried creation of The Emperors New Groove. This documentary was a little bit hard to find (since Disney hates it) but in the end I was able to locate it on an unlisted playlist. It is also on the internet archives in its unedited form but I couldn’t get the page to load.
I believe that this falls under the category of supporting ideas or facts. Though, it does contrast from some of the examples shown since the animation is the subject of the actual documentary. I still believe that the rough animation clips shown count as supporting ideas for the documentary, being pieces of the original script and adding authenticity to the film’s claims. They use the animation to both tell and highlight key points in their story.
