I don't know the concept art from the Haunted Mansion were even more hardcore than the stuff put into the mansion.I mean there is a voodoo burning for petes sake and a picture of a man's head as a trophy.Or that demonic cat creature that I believe was orginally going to be the antagonist.I mean I think Mr.Disney himself could be macabe when he felt like it.

What you listed is still pretty safe and clean as I meant. Though what really counts is what Walt approved of.

Update!
Disney’s adaptation of the acclaimed Neil Gaiman kids novel was being developed as a stop-motion project to be directed by Henry Selick. But last summer the project was put six feet under when the studio and Selick parted ways over scheduling and development.
In a new twist, Graveyard has now been reconfigured as a live action movie and sources say Ron Howard is in negotiations to direct.

The Dilemma was awful indeed. Ron Howard is long past his creative prime.

I'm not overly familiar with his work but from what I'm seeing, we is just an "ok" director and in the last 10 years has directed only one good film (based on Rotten Tomatoes' reviews)

What is Selick doing now? I'm still stuck on the news that he was workign on several projects but I recall Shadow King (?) was selved. Did we know anything else besides those 2?

The project has been revived. Sean Bailey said it's part of their upcoming live-action slate. It's probably going to be their next original, theatrical, live-action film after Artemis Fowl.
Q: What is your live-action strategy otherwise?
Sean Bailey: There are projects like Jungle Cruise. We tip our hat to the [Disneyland] ride in a couple of places, but it's a wholly invented new story and a hoped-for series of movies. We're making Artemis Fowl with Ken Branagh, which is obviously a book series but hasn't been on the screen. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman is something we're excited about.

“It’s really hard to crack through and get an original, hugely commercial win,” Mr. Bailey said. “We’re going to keep trying.” He pointed to a project based on “The Graveyard Book,” about a boy raised by the supernatural occupants of a cemetery.

I hope the reworking isn’t disastrous like Artemis Fowl was after Weinstein was fired.
