She edited Waking Sleeping Beauty, a film about Disney Animation during the era she was there. “I’m the third editor on the film so when I came on, Don [Hahn] had a structure that he wanted already. What I did was go in and finesse things and make some cuts… What I found was the most difficult thing was you want to stay true to the facts that were and sometimes it's more dramatic if you don’t do that, so we had to be very careful… There’s a place in the film where they brought the lions in for the artists to draw and you hear a woman say ‘Everyone stay behind the line, we don’t want you to get too close.’ And then Jeffrey [Katzenburg] came in, so I put her line over him entering and that didn’t really happen, but it’s true to the essence of who he was… We actually screened the film for Michael Eisner and he said to Don, “You’re making it seem like I didn’t care about what was going on and I did.” And he said ‘You’re right” and we changed it.”

Bob Iger requested an edit on Waking Sleeping Beauty. “One of the funny things was we had a lot of caricatures of Roy Disney because Roy was there and at the time, Roy was a chain smoker,” Ellen shared about her original edit for the film. “He did quit, but in all of those characters you see he’s got a cigarette and when Bob Iger saw the movie, he said you can keep the caricatures but you’ve gotta get rid of the cigarettes.” Prior to the film’s release, Bob Iger implemented a company-wide policy banning smoking from new films.
