This came up on conversation last night, How many attractions based on movies actually tell the same story of that movie?
The Fantasyland dark rides do to a certain extent, but outside of the soon to open Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid, how many really tell the story?
Which ones based on movies DON'T? It's actually one of my biggest disappointments with rides like Nemo (at both EPCOT and DL). The movie leaves a perfect setup... you have well defined characters that can stand on their own in difference place settings... and all we get is a rehash of the movie. EPCOT could have easily taken the 'school' aspect shown in the movie.. and DL's is even more forced.
I guess I see it as 'attractions built to retell the story' vs 'attractions tied to a brand/cast'
Seven Dwarves I think could be the later category. Nemo SHOULD have been. The original FL rides most fall into the first category.
Carsland should be similar - I don't expect that in Radiator Springs Racers we will take on the role of a Cocky Lighting McQueen and then be dealt a dose of humility mid ride. I expect it to be a "best of" in the same vein as Forbidden Journey.
It's pretty close unfortunately... have you not watched the pre-viz of RSR?
