Saddly enough i saw this film :frown: BUT i did get to see it for free, because my work had passes to a sneak preview of it. AND all i can say is that the movie was horrible. I went into it thinking that it would be a funny bad movie, in which it was just a really really bad movie, with a stupid plot and dumb jokes that even my 7 year old cousin didnt laugh at. Disney bombed with this one.

*whew* raise your hands if you feel like we just avoided yet another trip to the porcelien altar with this news!

Im stil trying to figure out...in recent memory, whats more of a hideous grotesque, stomach churning twitch inducing cringe causing trailer: the one for country bears or scooby doo? I'd say a tie, but then again....that country bears just looks surreal-ly bad. i think eisner has some firing to do, and im not talking pink slips.
I think some firing needs to be done to eisner

Too bad this film (based on a Disney ride) bombed. I heard that if it did well, they'd make a movie based on their Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Oh Well.

Why is it that Animaniacs writers have pure gold when they write Animaniacs, but when they do a movie, it's terrible...

Though I DID enjoy the 1996 Casper movie.

They were very lucky they got artistic people to do the first POTC movie. They got greedy with 3 sequels (and no cartoon?!) and mowed the franchise under, but they made very good action film with the name of a Disney theme park ride.

They got greedy trying to make Haunted Mansion a film series and made a terrible film, but ever since they've been smart and avoided theme park ride based films.
