very important question for you, mutuals:

have you ever seen a movie called Candleshoe

[girlfriendsofthegalaxy]

21. A director you think is underrated

22. A director you think is overrated

please?

21) Norman Tokar did a huge string of low budget live action Disney movies (mostly animal movies) that i was really fond of as a child. candleshoe (1977) in particular is set in a huge old manor house and the final giddily joyful scene is really stuck in my brain

22) i simply don’t enjoy hitchcock movies. they are really pretty but the end products he put out always ring a little hollow to me. off putting in a way i find hard to describe hope that helps

what are disney/pixar/marvel movies deserving of rides (or do any movies “deserve rides”)

Well first there's like the artistic question "which movies would make a really good ride" and then the separate question of "which movies when turned into a ride would really serve our business goals?

Cause like on the artistic side...you're looking for movies that have a moment that when people see they're just begging to experience it. Or perhaps stories that weren't a great fit for the screen, but would be great experiences. Like my ideal scenario is finding an overlooked bit of material that could be worked into something special, new, surprising. Because those to me are the ingredients of what great experiences are made of (Rohde has recently been on a kick talking about exactly why the surprising and unexpected are necessary to experiences, go check it out, it's basically because of how attention works).

But like all those things aren't really why a modern theme park or attraction would chose to use a movie as the basis for a ride. They're looking to increase attendance, generate new trips, and mitigate risk. They're thinking "what's a movie a lot of people like? If we know how many people are fans of that property we can do some math and have a good idea of exactly what impacts we can expect to our attendance and what ROI we can predict on our investment." Parks like that because otherwise you're building a big attraction and you don't actually know if it's something that people will like as much as that big tentpole franchise. It's riskier. Outcomes less certain. There's also exclusivity bit. Generally theme park rights are exclusive, if you have it in your park, no one else has it in their park, therefore another reason to visit yours.

So like to answer the question...there's stuff I'd like to see because I think it would make a great ride that doesn't have a chance in hell of ever happening. Bedknobs and Broomsticks would be a really fun ride. Candleshoe would make a great walkthrough experience. Even Mary Poppins, sadly probably won't ever see an attraction (if it does it'll be the more recent adaptation). But there's so much potential there.

And stuff with potential in the material? The love bug would be fun, escape to witch mountain is maybe a less obvious choice, but I mean magic is always a good candidate for a ride, Flight of the Navigator, The Rescuers, Inspector Gadget could probably make a good one, Around the World in 80 Days, National Treasure I think would be game as well. All of those could be mined for a really great experience. But the cultural power just isn't really there.

On the business side? What movies have the cultural power to mitigate risk but haven't yet been used? Not that many anymore. Inside Out and Wall-E come to mind. Wreck it Ralph. (I'm leaving marvel out of this because I've seen all of two of them, superheroes just aren't my thing). Moana, Coco. There's probably a few I'm forgetting.

One of the big problems I've been seeing though is that with the Renaissance of Disney animation and Pixar and honestly TV in general....the stories were getting these days are better than ever on the whole (the remake trend aside). Like look at Breaking Bad, and Better Call Saul - some of the best TV that's ever been made..., or look at Inside Out or Encanto - deep stories about what it means to be human and intergenerational trauma -but it's all because writers are really diving into what makes stories on screen good: character, relationships between them, our deepest-innermost worlds. Makes for fantastic TV...does not translate nearly as well to experience design. Even when a lot of these films have amazing worlds...there's not really ready made aspirational experiences baked into them in the way something like Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Jaws, or Peter Pan do.

One of the reasons Avatar worked so well in a theme park is that it had some ready made experiences built into the narrative AND the themes of that narrative were already built into the park. A real case of serendipity. But like a lot of other properties in translation to theme park make you choose between staying true to the themes of the film, or just picking a fun moment. Movies are allowed to make you cry, rides currently aren't. Like encanto had a fantastic setting and casita would probably make a great ride...but no one is going to let you make "inter generational trauma the ride". Vs Peter Pan has themes of childlike wonder and has a flying over London scene...easy to mesh those two together in a ride. Adapting the amazing TV and Movies we have today into satisfying rides because the filmmakers have gotten really good at creating content specifically for their medium. It's not impossible, but takes a lot more effort, and there's less time than ever. It could be made easier if ride designers had a seat at the table while films were being made, or the people in charge of parks and designing attractions were more open to a fuller exploration of human emotion.

Anyway this doesn't exactly answer your question, but maybe it still might prove helpful.

I have another theory . I heard the movie strange world did not test well.So Disney being Disney instead of putting the film on Disney plus.Because that would be a prnightmare having your first gay main protagonist movie getting shaft.They decided the best thing to do was to release it with little fan fair.I think they had no faith in it.

Animated movies are tough I think, you get the focus groups and the test screenings and you either have a finished produce or a nearly finished project when you're doing that and it's dead expensive and time consuming to go re-do all that stuff and I'm sure there's a few accountants in the back crunching numbers trying to decide if they should bother or not.

Occasionally it pans out

but from what I'm seeing on that post there was diddly for promotional work done on it so not chance for organic outrage or love to form at all

so ya you may be sitting on a solid theory there

Also though not all Disney movies do great, Walt knew that so one fell flat they just pushed on to the next one, you ever heard of Candleshoe

Jodie Foster being incredibly Jodie Foster in this one.

How about Gnome Mobile

RIP Ed Wynn :(

This one is funny since obviously you're going to recognize these two

Jane and Michael Banks from Marry Poppins, had the dvd of this one of the trailers just called them the "Marry Poppins Kids"

Movie was based on a Upton Sinclair book of the same name, came out the year before Chitty Chitty Bang Bang so no copycat claiming.

Black Cauldron is there if you want a animated one

Movies bomb, it happens

Finally! A movie I really, really enjoyed!

God, I try to look up an old movie and the tumblr results are full of people all excited about how Disney+ allowed them to rewatch so many awesome things 🤩❤🎉!!!!!

Absolutely pitiful to behold. You could have rewatched it literally any time without giving monthly payments to a disgusting monopoly if you went to any number of illegal streaming sites or (gasp!) maybe even if you checked your local library system!

2, 12, 43, 35 :)

Thanks for asking, Irma 💖

2. Do you have an accent?

Not really, I don't think. Sometimes I'll drop the 't's in words like mountain or button which is pretty specific to wear I grew up, but my parents were super strict about that kind of thing when I was a kid so I only do it when I'm talking super fast.

12. Do you have a bad habit?

Too many, but biting my nails and the skin around them is one I don't think I'll ever grow out of.

35. Favourite dessert?

S'mores or anything s'mores flavored. It's gotta have marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker though.

43. Is there a movie you detest for a very specific reason?

When I was a kid my older sister made us watch this dumb old Disney movie called Candleshoe a bunch and I hated it. It's kind of a retelling of Anastasia and I don't remember much beyond that but even mentioning it to my younger sister gets her fuming because of how many times we had to watch it together.
