I mean that the source material for "Splash Mountain" is forgotten by most and abhorred by many due to its racial depictions of African Americans, however, the ride that was inspired by the movie is a classic E-ticket beloved by many. I was saying that I would hope the same could be done with a Brave-inspired ride- make a great ride/attraction out of a less than stellar/polarizing film.

except a new ride isn't facing impossible emissions requirements hahahah. I hope Mazda nails it but I hope Mazda doesn't pull a Nissan and bring it back to life for just shy of 6 figures.....

Brave and SotS are not even on the same stratosphere when it comes to "polarizing" films imo.

I always struggle with this, this thread is probably not the place to discuss and I know it's probably been discussed ad nauseam elsewhere on these boards, but I disagree with the statement (though it is probably abhorred by many who don't want to watch or acknowledge the movie before harping on it). Here is a good read on the topic:

It would have cost a lot less than an electronic guest tracking system...

People were actually turned into bears?

Which, for Pixar standards, can still take a long time. Monsters University went into production before Despicable Me. It came out after Despicable Me 2.

@marni1971, I know they already choose the IP, but have they greenlit the attraction already?

The entrance to Tomorrowland is worse. When they stupidly relocated the rockets there it ruined the entrance and created the worst bottleneck in the park. Getting through Tomorrowland at DL on a crowded day is pure hell.
Right around the time of Robert the Bruce.

Oh I completely agree with you. I was not suggesting they were- I was just trying to make the point that a great ride/attraction can come from a less than stellar movie. Depsite how people feel about Song of the South, its not like it is a cult favorite and people watch it all the time.

Absolutely. There's quite a few on here that said Avatar didn't have the following to carry a land... and here we are.

I wouldn't believe anything until dirt moves. Even then, dirt has been known to move before coming to an indefinite halt.
Like the Mermaid has shown us, a great movie doesn't necessarily translate into a great attraction. That ball is 100% in WDI's court.

So if it based on Brave we can expect a mediocre ride ?

Indeed. Brave is polarizing because it had multiple changes in story and leadership waaaay too late in the game and thus resembles a kind of movie-loaf. SotS is polarizing for reasons I hope I dont have to explain.

Not what I said at all. The quality of the ride will depend entirely on the budget and creativity of Imagineering.
Orlando's really should be upgraded to the DLP version at a minimum with the double pirate ship vehicles. It would greatly increase capacity.

Meh. My gut reaction at face value? Brave is the wrong choice. BUT it is quite possible that Brave could have the most edutainment value of all the UK IP's.....
I don't see brave having a higher edutainment value than MP
