How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A charming hybrid of live-action fumbling and animated whimsy that doubles as a behind-the-scenes peek at Disney's golden-age studios. Benchley's bumbling earnestness carries you through both a gentle dragon fable and a genuine celebration of animation craft.
