Which films aren't represented enough at WDW?

I totally agree with you, but does Disney have full ownership of TWOZ? I know the released an unofficial sequel in the '80s and they just released Oz the Great and Powerful. The only mention of TWOZ in the theme parks seems to the the Great Movie Ride and at the Storybookland Canal boats in DL Paris. I don't know if Disney could do more with TWOZ because of contracts but it would be so cool if they did! They could even do a whole theme park out of it if they wanted to.


When DHS was Disney-MGM, I always expected a Wizard of Oz ride to be built there. I've never understood why that didn't happen. I'd love it if an OZ attraction was built that incorporated the MGM movie in some way. And it would be rather fitting, because Walt Disney himself influenced MGM's "The Wizard of Oz" - his success with "Snow White" convinced MGM to produce their Oz film. But I think that Warner Bros owns the rights to the original film, and unless Disney can cut a deal, I don't think we'll see any Ruby Slippers in WDW, unfortunately...

I think Hercules is unappreciated. It has some of the best music from Disney movies, and isn't boring. It could use some sort of attraction.

And for those who say The Lion King needs more representation, it has FotLK, CoL film, and it's represented in Philharmagic. It also has an entire section dedicated to it at AoA. Just because it doesn't have a ride doesn't mean it isn't represented in some way.

Hercules, Mulan, Pocahontas, and Hunchback are all SEVERELY under appreciated in the parks. Yes you can meet both Mulan and Pocahontas and see them in Fantasmic but that's it. These films also have some of the best scores of a Disney film, I'm not asking for major attractions, but more entertainment related options such as shows or inclusion in parades and other spectaculars.

When I went to WDW there was a 'London float' with Mary Poppins and Peter Pan, but there was no sign of her anywhere else. I think a Mary Poppins ride would go well in the United Kingdom Pavilion at Epcot.

There's a meet and greet with her in the UK portion of the World Showcase at Epcot. My daughter loves it. She must see Mary Poppins every time we go. She's 5. I love it to. While my wife waits in line with her I can enjoy the Rose and Crown Pub.

Kinda off topic, but I just got through watching The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and I swear that movie blows me away! I've only seen it twice, but that music gives me goosebumps and brings tears to my eyes. That movie is just so dark yet beautiful!

My mom also made a good point. She said that Esmerelda was the first Disney feminist before Merida. I never realized that. She definitely needs more attention.
