When she opens the crate to get the box w/the arrow head, approx 8 seconds in (in the version I was watching) the tag on the arrow head box appears to say A. Fall, which I would assume to be Albert Falls. So he made it in.

Fun fact this movie was announced in 2006. John Lassiter and the then head of Walt Disney pictures talked it up at the very first shareholder meeting after the Disney-Pixar Merger.

Also and this goes without saying, if the movie is a big hit jungle cruise will be changed to be a movie tie in on both coasts.
IMO the movie overlay hurts pirates and frankly should be removed.

Well, a joke-filled spiel was overlaid onto the original attraction.

I wanted to look up the IMDB page for this movie and I subconsciously typed in "Jumanji". I was then confused why Emily Blunt wasn't listed.

Another cheesy action movie to add to Dwayne Johnson's repertoire. He just may win another Slammy Award for this effort. Hopefully they'll revive the award for him. After all he's one of six producers on this project.

Looks ok, kids should like it too. Might not make The Oscars, but probably wasn't made for that purpose

Yep. Watched the trailer and thought that it seemed like the quintessential popcorn movie. It should do great.

I was going to say that, for this reason, I hope the movie fails. But if Disney doesn't realize why this would be a horrible, horrible idea then why should I care? Even if this movie makes a ton of money it will be forgotten within a year.
Totally agree about Pirates. Even though it was a successful franchise and a few of the movies were good, the ride should have never been changed. And they only keep making it worse. I don't have much desire to ride it anymore. Plus, the movies aren't a staple in pop culture anymore and Johnny Depp has fallen off the map. Part of the danger of using celebrities

I’m shocked!! It looks pretty legit!! Looks good! I’m excited. For once.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but it sure feels like pirates. Blunts character with the ladder, falling out the window, onto the bus, that is 100% a Jack Sparrow move. Curses, magic healing things, yea it has the curse of the black pearl vibe for sure.

For better or worse, the original Pirates trilogy has become a part of Disney's canon of live-action classics, even with people hating Depp now. So while I agree with undoing the movie changes that assume riders are goldfish, I still think Jack should stick around in some form. Just you know, not a "Where's Poochie?" form.
More importantly: Where's King Louie?

Too late. Dwayne Johnson is already making changes to the ride:

I’m going to be crucified for saying this BUT...this may not be a bad thing. The trailer seemed to take a lot of inspiration from the Hong Kong version of the ride-which,in my opinion, is probably the most technologically impressive and biggest-scale version of Jungle Cruise. Guys listen, there’s no way they will install a Dwayne Johnson or Emily Blunt animatronic on the ride, but I could see some upgraded animatronic animals, projection effects, maybe a loose storyline for skippers to follow involving the sacred treasure (with all the corny jokes and improv of course) and MAYBE a temporary overlay or change to some of the boats designs. Now I know a lot of people will hate this since it is a Disney classic, but if done right, and keeping all the magic of the original ride but adding upgraded effects and enhancing the experience, it could turn the US versions of Jungle Cruise into a much more exciting adventure.Too late.

^Oh, but I would expect the cue lines to go through some major changes, including seeing Blunt and Johnson’s pictures as members of the SEA club. Calling it now if these changed indeed do go through.

And people will no doubt complain, despite no one ever having a problem with what amounts to exactly the same thing in the Imagination queue.

Oh good, you pulled up an article from two years ago which Disney has disavowed.
You're pretty clever, aren't you?
