I think the reason I put it in The Land is because I couldn't think of a land in Animal Kingdom where it'd fit. If they had an Amazon land, I would've had it there.

Can this be a featurette (a 30-minue short) or is it just strictly a full-length movie?
Please keep it to full length!

POV Competition--Ride: The Movie
Journey Into Imagination
For many years, the Journey Into Imagination at Epcot has delighted many guests. That is...until 1999 when, under Eisner's tyrannical rule, the classic ride was turned into the Imagination Institute, a dry, boring, lame-as-all-getout attraction. Not even Figment's return could save it! That's why I pitch this film to you, to serve as an allegory to the turn of events surrounding the ride, and hopefully posing as foreshadowing of what may happen in the future...Journey Into Imagination
Plot
The story begins in a small house in the country. We are introduced to a wide-eyed little boy named Tony, and his cynical and practical grandfather. The plot begins in a similar vein to the current version of Journey Into Imagination, because Grandpa believes that imagination should be and forever remain captured and controlled, but Tony believes that imagination should not be treated that way at all and think that it works best when set free. This all sets up a rift in their relationship. Although Michael does care deeply about Tony, he just can't see the frivolity of imagination.
Throughout the first few minutes of the movie, we see the effects of this rift. For example, in one scene, Tony happily doodles a map of his small-town home, but Grandpa aggressively takes over, drawing it the way he thinks it should look. This tension over these scenes slowly builds until Tony finally explodes at Grandpa, calling him out for his lack of imagination, and dashes off into the night.
Tony runs as far as his legs can carry him, until he finds himself far away from home, with no clue on how to return. But Tony doesn't care about that. Alone in the dark, cruel world, Tony cries, wishing that his grandpa could realize that imagination should be set free. At this point, who should arrive but Dreamfinder and Figment, in their Dreamcatcher. Tony is at first apprehensive to meet them, but Dreamfinder reassures him that they know the great secret of imagination, and they need his help to uncover it.
First, however, they return Tony back home, where Grandpa chides him for running off, just because of his ideals of imagination. Tony defends himself and introduces his grandfather to Dreamfinder and Figment, who claim they will help him realize the secret of imagination. At first, the practical grandfather dismisses the boys' warnings as unbelievable and impossible. But with the help of Figment and Dreamfinder, Tony persists, and away they fly off into the world of imagination.
As they store their current load of ideas in the Dreamport, they discover that a mysterious company--known as the Imagination Institute--wants to rent out the Dreamport and turn it into their newest office space! Of course, Tony, Dreamfinder and Figment are horrified, but Grandpa is intrigued, since he hears that the Institute wants to develop a way to capture and control the imagination. The CEO of the Insitute--aptly named Michael--quickly takes Grandpa under his wing.
From here, we see an adventure from two different viewpoints--one from Tony and one from Grandpa. Tony's part of the movie takes him through scenes from the original Journey Into Imagination, including art, literature, theater and science. There's even a scene where Dreamfinder demonstrates how some common things can trigger the imagination when you put your mind to it. This scene would be done in a vein similar to the Magic Journeys 3D show.
However, on Grandpa's side of things, Michael takes him on a tour of the Imagination Institute, where he showcases all of the research being done about imagination (using elements from the god-awful 2nd version of the ride). As Michael is called in for a meeting, he lets Grandpa wander about on his own to explore the rest of the Institute. As he wanders about, he suddenly hears a wicked noise coming from behind a closed door. It turns out that the Imagination Institute is an evil corporation hell-bent on controlling all imagination, and brainwashing the mind to imagine whatever the Institute wants! Michael has also heard about the secret of imagination, and they plan to use it fully! And to stop Dreamfinder and Figment, they've created...Antifigment! Antifigment looks like Figment, but with black skin instead of purple, thus making him look like the dragon Maleficent. The demon knows about the imagination just as well as does the good Figment, but is basically the pet of Michael. As Michael gloats about how all imagination will soon belong to the Institute, Grandpa overhears, and fearing for his grandson, rushes off to find him.
Grandpa rushes through the imagination world, and finally catches up to Dreamfinder and Figment in an all-white area. This area is the Future of Imagination, a point that no one has yet made it to. There, high atop a precipice, sits a glimmering golden box. This box holds the secret of imagination. Grandpa confesses to Tony, Dreamfinder and Figment about the evil plans of the Institute...but it's too late! Michael knew that Grandpa had eavesdropped, and had deliberately followed him to get to the Future of Imagination. And with that, he traps Dreamfinder and Tony in an imagination-proof cage, and sics Antifigment unto them. Figment is willing to fight back, because he knows he can use his imagination to become many forms--a knight, a pirate, a cowboy, etc. Ah, but Antifigment, tries to expand his greatest fears into an overwhelming nightmare. Figment seems to be defeated, and as Michael gleefully starts to ascend the precipice to steal the secret, Tony calls out to his grandfather...
Tony: Grandpa! Do something!
Grandpa: How can I? This whole situation is far more than I can imagine!
Tony: That's just it, Grandpa! It is what you can imagine! Imagination is the greatest gift of all! You can do it! Please...I know you can.
With these words of encouragement, Grandpa starts to think. Suddenly, we travel into his mind world. His brain slowly starts to shake at a fevered rate, then suddenly, a great crack of lightning--representing that "one little spark of inspiration"--explodes in his mind. With that spark, Grandpa uses his imagination to expose Antifigment's greatest fear...imagination that has been set free! A wild array of imaginative things stampede past Antifigment until he's nothing more than...well, nothing. Then, noticing Michael almost about to open the box, he sets up a mighty earthquake to shake the precipice and thus separate Michael from the box. And with a final bolt of lightning, Michael falls to his demise, swearing revenge.
Grandpa breaks the cage with Figment's knight sword, and he and Tony are re-united (this should be one of the most heartwarming/tear-jerking moments in the whole film). With Grandpa and Tony re-united, Dreamfinder decides to show them the secret of imagination. With anticipation, Tony opens the box to reveal...a mirror? Dreamfinder explains that the secret of imagination is you. Without "you" (representing humanity), imagination would not exist. We would not have a good majority of what we have today, if it weren't for imagination. Grandpa grasps this fact in a jiff. Tony is ecstatic!
Tony: See, Grandpa? I knew you'd get it. You've got quite an imagination.
Grandpa: Really? Thanks, little guy.
With that, they all hop back on board the Dreamcatcher and return home. As the film ends, we see a montage of Tony and Grandpa having fun with imagination, because Grandpa has finally been convinced how much fun a free imagination really is. Dreamfinder and Figment watch from the window, and set off into the sky. All the while, we hear a triumphant refrain of a classic song...
"We all have sparks, imaginations
That's how our minds create creations
And they can make our wildest dreams come true
Those little sparks in me and you.
Imagination
Imagination
A dream can be a dream come true
With just one spark in me and you."
Credits
Journey Into Imagination
Directed by Tony Baxter (Yes, I want this legendary Imagineer to direct this. I don't want any Hollywood director to louse up this tale.)
Starring
Ron Schneider as Dreamfinder
Dave Goelz as Figment
Gene Wilder as Grandpa*
Jake Lucas** as Tony
Kevin Spacey as Michael
Music by Richard & Robert Sherman
Released in 2021
Distributed by Walt Disney Pictures
*I also have an idea about Disney doing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as a return to hand-drawn animation. I don't know if that'll be a challenge or not here, but he'd definitely be a part of that, playing Grandpa Joe.
**Tony took me a long time to cast, because I do not know of many child actors. I refused to go with those who star in Disney Channel shows, because those sitcoms barely qualify as shows. So, I went with Jake Lucas, who starred as John in NBC's recent telecast of Peter Pan, and is currently starring as Louis in the recent revival of The King and I.
P.S. This film would mark the return of the epitaph "Walt Disney Pictures" to the logo. Seriously, whose bright idea was it to change it to just Disney?!

The poster looks something like that, but instead of "October 1, 1982", the film's release date is featured.
“EPCOT”
Notes:
- Characters featured in the film include Bonnie Appetite (Bonnie Hunt) and her singing food buddies, the Three-Headed Troll (Jim Cummings, Jess Harnell, and Matt Vogel), Dr. Nigel Channing (Eric Idle), Tom Morrow (Nathan Lane), the Dreamfinder (Ron Schneider), and Captain EO and his crew: Fuzzball, Hooter, Major Domo, Minor Domo, Idee and Odee.
- The film also features cameo appearances from the Timekeeper, Rex from Star Tours, Sonny Eclipse, the Orange Bird, Skippy from Alien Encounter, and Gomer from the Country Bear Jamboree.
- When Figment prepares to go and find the other residents of EPCOT, a portrait of Bing Bong from Inside Out can be seen hanging on the wall.
- Figment’s house, as seen in the movie, is modeled after the one we pass through in Journey Into Imagination With Figment.
- The Mayor of EPCOT is not, in fact, the bad guy, as you’d expect him to be.

The Jungle Cruise
The Jungle Cruise is a movie that is roughly based on the attraction of the same name, following the sequence of the ride events in the Magic Kingdom very closely. The major difference in storytelling is that the setting takes place in one unidentified jungle. Since the jungle houses many different types of animals and cultural elements from around the world, it is never explicitly said where the jungle is located, as it is not really important to the story. The story follows the story of Michael, who is a skipper who just graduated from “skipper school” and is excited to begin his career as a skipper at the Jungle Navigation Co, just like his parents. He meets a strange Professor and his beautiful assistant Kate (along with her brother, Bo and their body guard Mark Marksman) who are attempting to go on an expedition to discover the long-lost idol of Sher-Li, but are denied by the head of the Jungle Navigation Co, Admiral Goff. Michael steals a set of boat keys and lies to Kate and the Professor, telling them that the Admiral changed his mind. They set off into the jungle, facing the events of the ride (in a much more dramatic way) until the climax of the tale when they reach the Sher-Li Temple. The move is an adventure comedy and is full of homages to the ride and the creators. Many of the little jokes are not verbally included, but some characters may crack a pun or two from the ride. Generally speaking, the movie is a lighthearted love letter to classic action movies like the Mummy with comedy and gags throughout.
Director: Guillermo Del Toro
I chose Mr. Del Toro because he does wonderful things with practical effects and creates wonderful, mystical worlds in such a beautiful way. The world of Jungle Cruise isn’t really set in reality, so someone who does a good job of capturing that style and who knows how to add some tasteful humor (see Hellboy films) is perfect.
Composer: Michael Giacchino
His work on Lost, Up, Star Trek, and more are enough to qualify him to do great justice to the film.
Cast:
Professor Dr. Von Schneider-Weissenburger III - Steven Fry
“The Professor” is a tall, stocky man with a thick German accent, so thick in fact, that you cannot always make out what he is saying. He is the brains behind the expedition. His role is mostly for comedic effect, as you can barely make out what he is saying. He tries to warn the crew about a waterfall (when they are all arguing about something), but no one can understand him, as he screams: “Watufol!” Eventually, he screams: “Bloody Waterfall!” (in a perfect Steven Fry English accent) and Michael manages to move the boat in time.
Skipper Michael – Grant Gustin
Michael is one of the main characters of the film. It is his first day as a skipper at the Jungle Navigation Co. He overhears the plight of Kate and the Professor and lies to them about the Admiral changing his mind. He helps them steal a boat (without their knowledge) and accompanies them on their journey. Michael explains to Kate later that he helped her and the Professor because he saw a symbol on a book she was holding which matches the symbol on an amulet his parents gave to him before they got lost in the jungle.
Kate Evans – Haylee Atwell
Kate is the strong, beautiful archeologist and student of the Professor. She is usually the reason things happen during the story and helps move things along. She is obviously the most responsible person on the expedition. She is Michael’s love interest throughout the movie, but the love story is kept muted and is tasteful. Much more important to her character is that she helps Michael gain his confidence as a skipper and teaches him things about the history of the jungle. She is the real hero of the film, and saves Michael and Bo a few times from danger. Her name is homage to Bill Evans.
Bo Evans – Ty Simpkins
Bo is Kate’s little brother (about 10-11). He usually has his nose in a book about dragons or monsters, but he is basically an encyclopedia of knowledge about the jungle. He is never too far from Kate and tries to get in the way of Michael’s affections for Kate. He eventually warms up to Michael. He has several catchphrases, one of which includes the mentioning of “Jungle Fever” whenever someone starts to get frustrated or act strange.
“Never Misses His” Mark Marksman – Mark Strong
Mark Marksman is the mustachioed, English, gentleman hunter (think a less evil Clayton) who is incredibly talented and surprisingly extremely capable. He was hired by Kate and the Professor to escort them through the jungle. The only problem is that he is a narcoleptic and is asleep for most of the adventure. He will wake up during key moments to make a joke or do something important, but in dire times, he may be asleep. His name is homage to Mark Davis.
“Ahontas” – Idris Elba
“Ahontas” is the given name to a large, silent man who works the engine. Throughout the tale, he is largely the muscle that fights off large threats, like the giant snake and crocodiles in lieu of the sleeping Mark Marksman. He remains silent throughout the film, and only speaks towards the end of the movie, which is a surprise to the crew.
Rusty – Andy Serkis
Rusty is another member of the crew who serves as cook and general handyman. He’s a scrawny, older man with a gruff look. He is a terrible cook and it doesn’t seem like he knows how to do much of anything except scare Michael with horrifying tales of exploits in the jungle, most of which are probably not true. He never leaves the boat.
Admiral Goff – Geoffrey Rush
Admiral Goff is a hearty, old sea dog who has seen his fair share. He is missing a hand and an eye, which he claims were traded to a parrot for eternal life. He is reluctant to let the expedition happen, but does nothing to stop Michael once he steals the Congo Queen (the boat). He shows up at the end with several other skippers, ready to rescue the crew. When Michael tries to hand him his skipper’s license, he laughs and winks, and then walks away, as if nothing happened. His name is homage to Harper Goff.
Skipper Jacques – Zach Braff
Skipper Jacqueline – Kristen Schaal
Skippers Jacques and Jacqueline are cameo roles. They are skippers from other boats whose boats were sunk by a charging hippo. They join the crew temporarily and help them get past the Hippos. However, they are incredibly annoying characters who always correct Michael and even go so far as to attempt to take over the boat. They knock out Ahontas and since Mark Marksman is asleep, they manage to steal the gun and boat from Michael. It becomes clear that they have been driven crazy by the jungle (little Bo gasps and reminds us of “Juuunngle Feeeever”). They take the boat into the forbidden Sher-Li Temple, because they hear it is a shortcut back to the Jungle Navigation Co. HQ. When the crew is attacked by bats in the Sher-li Temple, they flee into the temple, taking the bats with them. You hear their screams drowned out by a tiger’s roar. You meet up with them at the very end of the movie, however, their clothes torn and tattered. They are seen passed out in Admiral Goff’s rescue boat.
Tribal Leader – Eddie Murphy
Tribesman #1 – Charlie Murphy
Tribesman #2 – Terry Crews
The Tribal Leader role is also a cameo, along with the Tribesman #1 and 2. When the team is ambushed and captured, the rest of the tribe chants incoherent nonsense and appear to be cannibals. The team is tied up and moved to an ominous cliff and the Tribal Leader comes out with a big ceremonial mask. He makes loud declarations in gibberish and grunts a few times. He is about to give the signal to doom the crew to being tossed into a stream of hungry piranhas when he recognizes “Ahontas” and removes his mask, revealing to the audience that he is Eddie Murphy. It turns out that Ahontas is his long-lost son. They talk in perfect, American English. You find out that the “tribe” is really the remnants of a jazz band that were stranded by their crashed plane. They have been living in the jungle for years and became accustomed to the life, so they pretended to be a cannibal tribe to keep the Jungle Navigation Co. away. The Leader embraces “Ahontas,” calling him his little Pokey.
Trader Sam – Ben Kingsley
Trader Sam is mentioned throughout the movie as a legend. The gist of his tale is that he was raised by crocodiles and fed a diet of poisonous snakes. He became a voodoo master after finding the long lost treasure of the Yensid People. Bo and Walt tell the story: “With his magic, he will shrink your head and steal it right from your shoulders.” It turns out the Trader Sam is actually a really nice guy who just wants to help. He doesn’t ever speak, but saves Michael and Kate from the spiders in the Sher-Li temple and takes Michael’s amulet in exchange for a can of fuel. He is seen in “hallucinations” by Michael throughout the movie.
Albert Awol – voice of Conan O’Brien
His voice is heard throughout the film, in vocal cameos, giving tidbits about the weather, animals, boat sinkings, cannibal attacks, and more. You never actually meet the character, but his vocal musings are found throughout the film.
I had so much more to write but it’s so very late and this submission is late. The internet connection in this hotel room is so shoddy. Sorry this one couldn’t be better.
