This is going to suck ass.

Isn't that how you react to every live action Disney movie coming?

What a horrifying idea! And very risky considering the potential of offending other cultures. LIVE ACTION? My God, Disney is going down the drain quickly

No, I enjoy quite a few. I loved Oz (I know I'm alone on this one) and have enjoyed all Pirates films.

I just don't see a point in making a movie out of this ride.

You liked Oz the Great and Powerful? I do too! I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. Although, didn't this kind of reaction happen before when Pirates began?

I do remember way back when that the announcement that Disney would make movies based on theme park attractions was seen as a bit of a joke. The Country Bears didn't really help expectations for Pirates of the Caribbean. However you feel about the movies, the success of Pirates is pretty impressive considering all of the things going against it (and it's worth remembering that Johnny Depp was not considered a box-office draw at the time...though with the back-to-back flops of The Lone Ranger and Transcendence, that appears to have returned).

I think with the right script and good direction, this could work. If Pirates was able to take its basic concept and make it work, the same could be said here (and I think Haunted Mansion could have been good, if it wasn't turned into a watered-down Eddie Murphy comedy by whichever executive who thought of that).

But the ride basically has no plot. At least Pirates and HM you could make a plot out of it, or something resembling it. Pirates and horror movies, there's an audience and genre for that.

Except this, in live-action, and with all those outdated looks on cultures? People won't like it.

It seems Disney is obsessed atm with this ride (the animated series, the 50th anniversary, now this...)

I'll wait for the trailer, then I will judge.

Evidently, the project is still alive.

Disney has set the scribe team of Tim Rasmussen & Vince Di Meglio to script It’s A Small World, a family film based on the 50-year-old theme park attraction. The scribes, whose credits include License To Wed, Smother and Marmaduke and who wrote on Meet The Fockers and The Girlfriend Equation, board a project that has Jon Turteltaub attached to direct. It got started when Jared Stern pitched the Small World project and wrote a draft. The Lego Movie‘s Dan Lin is producing with Turteltaub.

Any possibility the good work on The Lego Movie might rub off on this film?

Q: Aside from Jungle Cruise, are there any Disney attractions being adapted into films?

The DisInsider: They announced a few years ago that "It's a Small World" was getting a movie. It seems to have been put on hiatus. More info will come closer to the release of Jungle Cruise.
