    Default Mr Toad's Wild Ride

    Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride’ movie


    Disney plots a ‘Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride’ movie

    Deadline New York
    Disney has feature film plans for Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, one of its longest-running theme park rides. The studio has set iconic commercials and video director Pete Candeland, best known for his work with animation, to develop a live-action/CGI mix feature that will bring to life a theme park ride that originated in Disneyland on its opening in 1955. Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride is based on Disney’s adaptation of The Wind In The Willows.

    Tron: Legacy producer Justin Springer will produce Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, and the studio is looking for a writer to draft the plot into a film. Disney, which turned its Pirates Of The Caribbean attraction into a billion-dollar feature franchise, has a version of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea with David Fincher among several percolating projects inspired by theme park attractions.

    Uhhh... It's a bit late for an April Fools' Day joke, isn't it?
    “There's other ways of learnin' about the behind feet of a mule than gettin' kicked by 'em… And just cause these here tales is about critters like Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox, that don’t mean they ain’t the same like can happen to folks. So them what can’t learn from a tale about critters, just ain’t got their ears tuned for listening…”

    That's just what I was thinking. I looked this over three times before releasing it. I hope this production goes the same way as the ride, into development h... and never comes out again.

    Wasn't there already a live action/animation movie? and it sucked and that's why no one has heard of it?

    Worse, isn't this already a ride based on a movie based on a book?... I feel like they're going full circle. And then dropping the circle in the mud, wiping it off with their coattails, spit polishing it, and charging people ten dollars to see it.
