In the early days of Disney Studios, the cramped room where Walt critiqued his crew's pencil tests was aptly dubbed "The Sweatbox" by the animators under scrutiny. While the industry has changed radically since Walt's day, the Sweatbox survives; if not as a noun - a designated room, then as a verb - the act of critiquing. Every animator's got sweatbox stories to share at industry parties. I've been on both sides of that Moviola, as animator and director, the sweat-ee and sweat-or.
