After Tomorrowland: What's next?

So Tomorrowland proved a success, with the potential for a sequel, but seeing how Disney's ride based movies have succeeded so far (Pirates, Tomorrowland) What other Disney parks ride & property should be made into a feature film? Here are my picks.


Dinoland USA



This is an obvious pick and is just full of potential. This can be Disney's PG version of Jurassic Park. So the basic in universe back story of Dinoland USA is this. 
"DinoLand U.S.A. originally started as a small highway town where an amateur fossil-hunter found some dinosaur bones in 1947. After contacting some scientist friends, they gathered their money together to purchase the site. Since then, scientist, volunteers and grad students have been living there trying to find answers about dinosaurs. The Dino Institute was founded and opened the site as a "fossil discover park". An old fishing lodge on the property became the Restaurantosaurus. Meanwhile, the Dino Institute discovered how to warp vehicles through time, and thus started doing time tours"
This backstory sounds very Jurassic Park, but there are some things they can do differently. Let's say that Instead of cloning dinosaurs, They either find well preserved Dinosaur inside a solid casing Ala Gravity Falls, or they found a way to time travel, and take Dinosaurs from the past. Or, they could go with the route that Dinosaurs never went extinct, and have been living with man all throughout history. You can have the main characters two kids, and they have a dinosaur Sidekick. Something cute & will sell toys, like a baby triceratops or a baby T rex.

Tomorrowland 2

I already mentioned how much I love Tomorrowland, and I would like to see alot more of that universe. In the sequel, Casey and Frank could possibly go to space. Casey always talked about how much she loved space, it would be fitting to have Casey actually go to space in a sequel. You can even use more rides from Tomorrowland, such as Space Mountain and the Astro Orbiter. And hopefully, they can bring Athena back. 

Adventureland



Adventureland is also a possibility. Disney is already working on a reboot of Indiana Jones, and they could expand the Indiana Jones universe with Adventureland. But if that doesn't work out, they can make their own universe. Pirates of the Caribbean is technically a part of Adventureland. They could just expand the  the pirates Universe into something more. But with movies like John Carter and The Lone Ranger, I don't think that's possible anymore.

The Haunted Mansion

Disney already made a movie for the Haunted Mansion, but that movie sucked, and made everything cool about the ride into tools. But just because one sucky movie ruins it, doesn't mean you can't try again. Haunted Mansion. There is still hope for the Haunted Mansion. Disney can take footnotes from Are you afraid of the dark, and make a horror movie that's both Terrifying, funny & family friendly. 


Frontierland


If Disney chooses to make a movie about the greatest American Tall Tales, It should be set in Frontierland. In fact, I think Disney should take a break from Fairy Tales, and do their own spins on Characters like Paul Bubyan, Sally Ann Thunder Anne Whirlwind and John Henry. 

Well, if you're reading this, Disney,  which I doubt you are, I hope you consider some of these Ideas.

Tomorrowland Inspires!!!

There are two Wolves that are always fighting. One is darkness and despair, the other is light and hope. Which wolf wins? The one you feed, of course. And after seeing Tomorrowland, I'll make sure to feed the right wolf always! This movie is so good and so inspirational. So, what's the story? A teenage girl finds a pin  that shows her a vision of Tomorrowland, a place where the greatest minds came together and made the world a better place. Unfortunately this said place exists in a different place and time. She get's help from an AI in the form of a child and a shut in inventor to get to Tomorrowland, but when they get there, things not might be as perfect as it seemed, and it's up to her to make things right, and fix the future.

It's good to see a film based on a Disney ride other than Pirates of the Caribbean succeed, because I saw the Haunted Mansion, and it did not please anyone. But unlike the haunted mansion, which relied on cheap gimmicks and a Celebrity main character, this actually taps into what Walt Disney himself envisioned when he created Tomorrowland. Now, before you try to correct me, I know George Clooney is a main character in this movie, but there's a difference between his performance here, and Eddy Murphy's performance in the Haunted Mansion. George Clooney was playing an actual character. Eddy Murphy was basically playing himself. And George Clooney isn't the central character in this movie, It's the teenage girl, who is AWESOME!!! What I like about her is that she captures that hope that humanity has left. I could go on and on and on about why I like this movie, but no. I want you to go see it for yourself. If you like it, great. If not, more power to you. But whatever you feel about it, it will give you some thought on how you can make the future a better place.
