Author Topic: Disney movies based on theme park attractions Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-05-2002 01:24 PM                        First we had "The Country Bears," a complete waste of film. Coming soon: "The Haunted Mansion," and I just got a one-sheet for "Pirates of the Caribbean," which: - Stars Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush - Is directed by Gore Verbinski - Is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Pretty high-powered people for a theme-park-ride movie. What's next, "The Enchanted Tiki Room?" They've already made a video movie out of the "Tower of Terror." Personally I'd like to see a movie based on the Rock'n'Roller Coaster. The critics could review it as a "roller coaster ride" and be telling the truth!  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-05-2002 01:59 PM                        "In the Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, Tiki, room...": Real Media Song Tiki Room  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-05-2002 02:01 PM                     I would like to see a horror movie based on a happy Disney ride that goes terribly wrong. Probably "It's a small world" propelling the riders into a parallel dimention where they are the only real people and everyone else is anamatronic midgets out to kill the "warmbloods" =TMP=  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 12-05-2002 02:02 PM                        I think "Chucky" retired to "It's a Small World".  |  IP: Logged Per Hauberg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 883 From: Malling, Denmark Registered: Jul 2000 posted 12-05-2002 07:18 PM                        The box-office failure of Disney's Treasure Planet may cause the studio to rethink its role as the industry's leader in animated features, some analysts are indicating. ---------------------------------------------------------------- If just those kind Disney-people would accept the fact, we hear "out there in theaters" - what audience expect from a Disney-movie: Cute, fluffy animals, singing and speaking and wearing clothes. Not-to-scary to the youngest, fun to the older movie-goers. Lion King, Tarzan, Jungle Book, Aristocats did great; Pochahontas may have done well, but send audiences disappointed home, Hercules was a stinker and now Treasure Planet bombs. Signals readable without big exams. Somebody please tell them not to throw away 70 years of being number one by trying to please grown-ups instead of the real Disney-audience ! p.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-05-2002 07:44 PM                     Does it count if some operations are "Mickey Mouse" outfits? Reminds me of the old joke, A rich guys son asked for a Mickey Mouse outfit for Xmas, so he bought him the White House.  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 12-06-2002 06:19 PM                     Maybe Universal and Disney can co-finance the next Chucky movie so he can set it off at Disneyland. FWIW Jerry Bruckheimer's production company is based at Disney.  |  IP: Logged Michael Gonzalez Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 790 From: Grand Island , NE USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 12-07-2002 09:58 PM                     So are the women in "Pirates of the Caribbean" going to be running with or without platters of food? (How many of you get that reference?)  |  IP: Logged
