4. The Rocketeer

This classic that has been long-forgotten by many but is fondly remembered by some might have been considered worthy of an attraction in 1991, but an attraction inspired by it now is quite a long shot. Still, it’s fun to imagine the period superhero/action movie inhabiting a Disney park. The film took place in the 1930s, and it would be fun for guests to get to visit that era for a few minutes, perhaps while they experience a simulation of flight. The technology behind Soarin’ Over California (which has actually featured the film score from The Rocketeer at times) would be a perfect fit for a ride devoted to that experience.

5. Meet the Robinsons

Theme Park Tourist editor Amanda Kondolojy wishes that the 2007 animated movie Meet the Robinsons, loosely based on some of the characters from the 1990 book A Day with Wilbur Robinson by William Joyce, was popular enough to merit its own attraction. The film made $170 million worldwide which, while definitely not a flop, didn’t hit the heights of other Disney movies that did get an attraction. Meet the Robinsons travels to the not-far-off future of 2037, which would be an interesting place for Disney park guests to go via an attraction. The chance of a trip there, however, is very unlikely at this point.

6. Big Hero 6

Recent Academy Award winner for best animated picture (and the first superhero film to be bestowed that honor), Big Hero 6 would the ideal movie to be adapted into a theme park attraction for many. It features an Asian lead, so perhaps we might see a Big Hero 6 attraction at either Tokyo Disneyland or Hong Kong Disneyland? Chances of an attraction inspired by this film are better than the chances of most properties on this list, since Big Hero 6 only just recently came out and was a blockbuster at the box office. And that’s not even mentioning it’s fresh Oscar win! It could happen.

7. James and the Giant Peach

The eery stop-motion animated film James and the Giant Peach, based off a work by Roald Dahl, could be an excellent inspiration for a new attraction. The attraction wouldn’t even have to be a particularly large one, or involve much technology. A giant peach for visitors to walk through to see James and other characters from the movie like Mr. Grasshopper and Mrs. Ladybug would make for an interesting experience in and of itself.
