In this one, we take a look at stories that inspired great Disney movies.
....
Appropriate for all ages.
but really, I think kids would be terrified if they sat through something like that. You're forgetting:
Cinderella: Not much to change, just that Cinderella gets to go to the ball three times.
Alice in Wonderland: Alice meets other characters like the Duchess, the Cook, the baby turned pig, the frog and fish ppl, the griffin, the mock turtle, the jabberwocky, the chess piece ppl, and lots of others.
Peter Pan: Not much to change, except Tinker Bell nearly dies from poison and not a bomb explostion (though the latter seems fitting for the time period it was made). There are other stuff I don't remember.
Sleeping Beauty: Hah-ha, this one has a second half, or rather more of a sequel. After Aurora is awakened, she and Prince Philip get married and have two children (Day, a boy, and Aurora, a girl...this may have to change for Disney since they already used Aurora for SB). Then Prince Philip goes off to war and is forced to leave Aurora and his children with his Ogress mother (How an ogress and human make Grendel, but then in this story they make a handsome prince is beyond me). I think once he's gone, the ogress has a strong desire to eat her grandchildren, but Philip comes home in time to save his family and his mother is so ashamed she leaps into a pit of vipers. Wonderfully charming story...
Beauty and the Beast: Belle has two mean sisters.
Aladdin: Aladdin has a genie in a lamp and a ring. He wins Jasmine by having a lot of gold, a house, and something else. I don't remember what other differences there are.
Pocahontas: John Smith is a nasty old english man, and the Powahatans didn't really want to hurt him. It was just a religious/spiritual ritual and Pocahontas, who is only 12, had the role in saving him. Though this theory is just that: a theory. He leaves, but the she goes to England and marries John Rolfe and is made to look like an Englishwoman (hey the sequel got it right, yet ppl still got upset...)
There are others like Tarzan, Mulan, 101 Dalmations, etc that I'm sure have different "Inspired Stories"
hehehe, I didn't expect to write that much, lol!
Here is my idea for a DVD line:
Disney Attractions at the Movies DVD Series
These would be the DVDs you'd find at the ride exit gift shop. Rather than being the movie DVD you can buy anywhere else for $10 cheaper, this would be a park exclusive, containing:
~ The movie that inspired the ride or was inspired by the attraction
~ If available, a short making-of the movie (for longer one, you buy the DVD made for the movie)
~ Memorable ride-through or show
~ A Making-of the ride feature of a narrative with concept art and interviews with imagineers, cast members, park guests
~ Animated Art Galleries of: concept art, attraction poster art, publicity art, live action stills, attraction signs, attraction atmosphere, attraction hosts costumes, attraction inspired souveniers stills (though this may be much too much to fit on a DVD), opening day stills, park character stills, etc.
Titles in the series:
