Remember when Disney had the most brilliant idea to make movies (because their films were currently lacking) out of WDW/Disneyland attractions?
Why did this (sort of) work?

Not that I thought I was the only one, but those rides that meant the most to me just so happened to be in both Lake Buena Vista and Anaheim: Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion. Wonderful, catchy soundtracks, brilliant animatronics took you on a whimsical, yet believable journey. With the exception of Epcot's Spaceship Earth (and at one time, Horizons, World of Motion and Journey into Imagination) and Animal Kingdom's Expedition Everest, the Magic Kindom is home to Audio Animatronics. (I don't even count Disney Hollywood Studios' Great Movie Ride. We're talking cream of the crop, here.) Even with Epcot's, at one time, many contributions to the total AA attractions in WDW, MK always had more to offer. Epcot gave us history in their AA attractions, while Everest's story is pretty straight forward. (The only reason I cound the one appearence of an AA on EE as an AA attraction is because the Animatronic [I keep wanting to type "wookie"] yeti is the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time.) Don't get me wrong, Spaceship Earth and Everest are at the tippy top of my favorites list, possibly without counting a. the backwards thing on Everest and b. the novelty of riding around in a giant golf ball.
My point is, there is something about these two attractions Disney decided to make into a movie. At a favorite WDW forum site of mine, srsounds.com, a poll went up in order to find the favorite attraction at WDW.
Haunted Mansion vs. EE= 75% Haunted Mansion
Spaceship Earth vs. Pirates of the Caribbean= 59% Pirates of the Caribbean

So, that means: Haunted Mansion vs. Pirates of the Caribbean

I never found out who won because my computer can't sit through it without refreshing for some reason, but if I had to guess, it was probably a tie. Okay, maybe Pirates won because (full circle!) Johnny Depp gave an amazing performance and made Pirates of the Caribbean one of the most wonderful, fun films Disney has put out in the last few years (not counting Pixar films) and the Haunted Mansion, possibly because we all have our favorite rumors pertaining to its backstory, failed as a film.

If I had my way (a.k.a. when I am crowned the next Michael Eisner save the disasterous plan of Euro Disneyland) the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean (both of which I haven't seen since their most recent updates) would tie as the best Disney attractions of all time. And I'd bring back the Dreamfinder and make a movie out of that ride! I am a genius.
