Don Hahn was born in Chicago, Illinois. His father was a Lutheran minister.

His family then moved to Burbank, California when he was a teenager. He graduated from North Hollywood High School (where he was a drum major) in 1973, went on to study music at Los Angeles Valley College, and majored in Music and minored in fine art at California State University Northridge. At both colleges, he was also a drum major as he also was in the Royal Cavaliers Youth Band of Van Nuys, California. He was a percussionist in the Los Angeles Junior Philharmonic Orchestra. He worked as a drum head tester for Remo Inc. and was the percussion instructor at Notre Dame High School to put himself through college.
Walter Elias "Walt" Disney (/ˈdɪzni/; December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American entrepreneur, cartoonist, animator, voice actor, and film producer. He was a prominent figure within the American animation industry and throughout the world, and is regarded as a cultural icon, known for his influence and contributions to entertainment during the 20th century. As a Hollywood business mogul, he and his brother Roy O. Disney co-founded The Walt Disney Company.
As an animator and entrepreneur, Disney was particularly noted as a filmmaker and a popular showman, as well as an innovator in animation and theme park design. He and his staff created numerous famous fictional characters including Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy. Disney himself was the original voice for Mickey. During his lifetime, he won 22 Academy Awards and received four honorary Academy Awards from a total of 59 nominations, including a record of four in one year, giving him more Oscar awards and nominations than any other individual in history. Disney also won seven Emmy Awards and gave his name to the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort theme parks in the U.S., as well as the international resorts Tokyo Disney Resort, Disneyland Paris, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Shanghai Disney Resort.

By the mid-1980s, the fabled animation studios of Walt Disney had fallen on hard times. The artists were polarized between newcomers hungry to innovate and old-timers not yet ready to relinquish control. These conditions produced a series of box-office flops and pessimistic forecasts: maybe the best days of animation were over, and maybe the public didn't care. It seemed only a miracle could produce a happy ending. Waking Sleeping Beauty depicts how Disney regained its magic with a staggering output of hits -- The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, and more -- over a 10-year period. Join us for a Skype chat with Disney film producer and Waking Sleeping Beauty director Don Hahn!

Au milieu des années 80, les légendaires studios d'animation de Walt Disney traversent une passe difficile. L'avenir se joue entre les nouveaux artistes avides d'innovation et les anciens qui refusent de céder le contrôle. C'est dans ce contexte que le studio enregistre quelques flops historiques qui ont même pu faire penser que le public était lassé et que l'âge d'or de l'animation était passé. Seule une fée aurait pu réveiller l'empire du rêve endormi... WAKING SLEEPING BEAUTY n'est pas un conte de fées. C'est une histoire vraie, celle de la façon dont Disney a retrouvé sa magie avec une incroyable série de succès - LA PETITE SIRENE, LA BELLE ET LA BETE, ALADDIN, LE ROI LION entre autres.

Chorus:
Saturday night, we're ready to fall in love
It's like a trail going straight to your heart
Saturday night, we're going to the heart of town
We won't go home until the breaking of dawn
Bridge:
I'm riding in the summer wind
I'm riding on my motorbike
I'm cruising on the boulevard
I'm cruising with my motorbike
Rap 1:
Don't you call me a macho man
This is a thing I don't understand
Don't you call me a womanizer
I am just a little bit wiser
But riding on my motorbike
Is a thing I really like
And I'm going straight to town
Looking for some girls that hang around
Hang around
Chorus
Bridge
Rap 2:
Cruising up and down the road
I'm looking for some extra load
Just have a look on my machine
Something you have never seen
Won't you join me on a ride
Be my love and be my pride
Come on, let's have some fun tonight
Rub a dub a dub - it is alright
It is alright
Saturday night
Saturday night
Saturday night
We won't go home until the breaking of dawn
Chorus
Bridge
Saturday night
Saturday night
