Haunted Mansion

[Dranth]

When will people start asking for completely original ideas again…RIP The Creator

It's sad but people really don't seem that interested in new anymore. Just about anything that isn't based on an existing IP flops spectacularly at the theaters so we see less and less attempts at something new.

That same hesitation creeps over into the theme parks side as well where Disney hasn't built a non-IP attraction since around Everest. Universal seems to at least have a couple coming with EU (roller coaster and carousel I believe) but they have something like one original ride that isn't based on IP at the two existing parks.

I think if they gave us good original movies people would flock to them. Unfortunately the last several years have been mostly duds, for me Tomorrowland was my turning point, I don’t think I’ve ever looked forward to a movie as much as that and then the second half was just horrible, a few years later I allowed myself to get very excited for a Wrinkle in Time only to leave the theater disappointed again.

Not long after that the world came to a grinding halt so my hesitancy didn’t change but I let myself get excited for Haunted Mansion this year only to leave feeling it was ok but not great.

It’s been a long time since Disneys came up with an original movie (that wasn’t animated) that I loved.

Yeah, Tomorrowland took a weird turn that didn’t do it for me.

Thankfully, there is still Muppets' Haunted Mansion which is thoroughly enjoyable.

As someone who goes to theaters every week I see original movies all the time that never find a mass audience which is a shame… I am talking more then just Disney… very rarely do any completely original films break out
