5. Pocahontas
A headstrong protagonist, moving musical numbers, a meaningful historic setting; there’s so much potential in the animated classic Pocahontas that it’s really a mystery as to why we never see anything about it in the parks other than a character meet and greet and a segment in the Disney's Hollywood Studios version of Fantasmic!. With such a historical background, Pocahontas could easily be integrated into The American Adventure Pavilion at Epcot or bridge the gap between Frontierland and Liberty Square at the Magic Kingdom.
6. Mulan
It’s assumed that the Imagineers, being a highly intelligent and thoughtful people, would have seen Mulan and immediately thought, “Mulan + China Pavilion = $$,” so it is completely baffling as to why we have yet to see any attraction for this movie.
As of now, Mulan has a meet and greet location by a nonchalant hedge in front of the Reflections of China building, which is great and all, but Mulan saved China from the Huns. What’s a girl gotta do ‘round here to get a real attraction?
7. Hercules
Hercules was one of my favorite animated movies growing up, so you can imagine my dismay when I grew up and realized that Disney all but forgot about such an underrated film. Herc lovers, like myself, would be thrilled to see a Greek food restaurant shaped like the Parthenon, a dark water ride through Hades’ underworld (with a happy ending, of course), or an ancient Athens-themed resort filled with understated movie details, like vases engrained with the Muses and ceiling mosaics of Hercules defeating the multi-headed Lernaean Hydra.
Though we've covered a lot of ground, this list is by no means exhaustive. What films would you like to see represented more at Disney parks?
Comments
Imagineers did use Cranium Command as part of the inspiration for Inside Out, so you're not too far off there.
Alantas and Treasure planet have no love either!
Always thought Wreck It Ralph would make a great attraction.
