	Movies - Sweatbox

:A sweatbox is another reference for a form of torture known as the box. The Sweatbox is also the title of a documentary about the making of the Disney film The Emperor's New Groove.

"Sweatbox" is a Disney animators' term for the screening room where directors and producers approve or reject animated scenes in pencil test form, as well as for this process itself, also sometimes called sweatboxing'''.

The term originates from the beginning of Walt Disney Animation, where test scenes where shown to Walt Disney on a Moviola in a small, non-ventilated room. The animators, awaiting a verdict, perspired both because of the climate and fearing a possible negative reaction. When the animation studio relocated to Burbank and much more comfortable screening rooms were installed, the name still stuck.
