Well before you start watching, let me warn you that this the point in the Shrek franchise where he's overstayed his welcome, though it's not as bad compared to Ice Age.

so no jaws.
How about Howard the Duck, because wasn't it a part of a marvel series at the time?

I thought Shrek 5 was the point where he overstayed his welcome

I dig the Black Cauldron idea. A dark ride would actually work well in Fantasyland.

Is the movie bad enough tho? 55% on RT
Also to make it an E-ticket this ride would have to be really different than the cliche fantasyland dark ride
Breaking it down...
Howard the Duck is completely fine, as is any "stand-alone" bad Marvel movie. The only Marvel movies I wouldn't accept would be anything in the Spider-Man and X-Men series, as those do have very bad entries but also really good entries. I would say for the Shrek series the first two and Puss in Boots were all very favorable with critics, while the fourth film got a lukewarm reception. I'd consider Shrek the Third to be the only film in that series that's truly bad.
I would however say the Jaws series has one film that's obviously a classic, a lukewarm sequel, and two truly terrible sequels. Mathematically I would give Jaws 3 a pass with this rule. Sorry for all the semantics, this is just one of the most built up projects of the season and I want to make sure you all land on two films that MEW and I would give the thumbs up to.

Both good points. Forgot about that.
Black Cauldron I would consider already have theme park representation in Tokyo, so would rule against it for that reason. Plus I don't think it's a truly bad movie, just misguided and poorly timed within the context of Disney history.

What critical score do you judge LukeWarm or Awful (on a % scale)?
As a general rule I'd say anything below a 50%, but I don't want to use Rotten Tomatoes as the end all, be all for deciding that so if you have something that's close to that mark by all means run it by me.

I vote Chicken Little as our Disney attraction. It has a lot of action elements that would fit well in a theme park setting.
Oooh. Pixels I would give the thumbs up, as I would reluctantly give the thumbs up to the Gatsby film...as much as I'm personally a fan of that version. (HUGE fan of the book and I think it was actually adapted incredibly well...) Though the Gatsby thing is definitely a personal bias for me as I know I'm in the minority for loving it.

I just read Gastby for school and loved it. I also loved the movie so it'd be pretty easy for me to make it into a ride and thanks.

Umm After Earth, anyone? Lol I just thought of this. This works perfectly well as an E-Ticket.

That does fit quite nicely. While not my top choice, I would definitely be on board.
Technically, my favorite movie Tomorrowland fits the category scoring a solid 49% on RT.

I vote for Chicken Little for Disney as well; and I vote for either After Earth or The Great Gatsby for Universal.
