Fire, Ice(cream) and the Jungle Cruise
If you’re in for some Disney history and future check out this interview with Walt Disney Pictures Chairman Dick Cook (The People at the Disney Studios know him as Dick and not Richard Cook). He talks about a fire in 1970 on the Disneyland monorail, how he got the best ice cream in El Capitan and about the new Jungle Cruise movie we can expect in the near future.
There will be a family involved. The skipper will play a very important role. He’ll be more of an Indiana Jones kind of guy, with a little Jack Sparrow in him, who’s going to be able to take this family on an adventure that they never dreamed they were going to be on when they first got on board. In true Disney fashion, it will definitely have the adventure and the intensity—but also the heart and the fun. We hope we have a good outline of where we want to go and what we want to do with it in the next year. (BoxOfficeMojo)
That’s not all as this is a very long interview filled with great information we Disney fans love to hear about. Other items you’ll read about are the Pirates, Peter Pan, Narnia, Star Wars, and the movie Song of the South
It’s a great movie, a great piece of art. It’s a part of our history and our heritage. I’m sure at some point in time it will find its way—we’re just trying to think of the right and proper way of getting it out there. We’ll find the right balance of being respectful and honoring the work that has been done. (BoxOfficeMojo)
