Plot

Documentarian Trudie Styler captured the tumultuous journey behind the making of Disney's animated feature, initially titled 'Kingdom of the Sun,' which later became 'The Emperor's New Groove.' Her access stemmed from her husband Sting's involvement in the project, allowing her to film the intense struggles and controversies, including the moment producer Fullmer informed Sting that his songs would be cut from the film. Premiering at the Toronto Film Festival on September 13, 2002, Styler's documentary, The Sweatbox, remains under Disney's control and has yet to see a home video or DVD release.
