Very interesting that the film shows women doing artistic work (in-betweeners, background artists) at a time when Disney only thought them fit for painting cels. I'd thought the sexism was just industry practice reflecting social norms of the times, but here they're doing jobs that Disney wouldn't let them do for decades. Enlightening.
