THE HAUNTED MANSION
Being a Walt Disney World fan, I was eager to see this
movie. Granted, it looked silly, but when you think about it, that's kind of
the spirit of the Haunted Mansion ride at Disney World in the first
place. The movie is an all around, run of the mill, re-finding of
family values story, but it does it through an interesting drive through the
ride known as the Haunted Mansion.
For those more familiar with the Haunted Mansion ride, the
movie will be a little more fun. Being able to point out stuff you recognize
from the ride, sort of turn it into a Where's Waldo? movie for the
initiated. People who do not know the ride, may find it sort of bland
with a few laughs here and there along the way. There's also the
fact that they've re-shuffled the previous "Story" told for 30 years now
by the castmembers at Walt Disney World. So now they're all liars. (i.e.
Master Gracey's wife is not killed by the fortune teller in the movie).
Finally, if you have kids, they'll LOVE the movie. So take them.
