This should have gotten the same treatment as Pirates

So, the Pirates of the Caribbean rides at the disney parks left a lot room for artistic license as far as plot and all that, and i think the same is true for the Haunted Mansion.

sure, there are a few specific ghosts that have rumored plots/backstories to some of them, but for the most part, the main Haunted Mansion we all think of is in New Orleans Square, Disneyland

so, the pirates movie franchise got phenomenal writers, an appropriate cast to fit the characters, and was even a great action movie. (say what you want about the sequels)

so, why oh why was the haunted mansion, my other most most most favorite ride/attraction, turned into another moronic eddie murphy piece of crap?!?!

(eddie murphy is good for that, and also anything involving being in drag/fatsuit combo)

i would love to see someone try this again in a couple of years and give it the treatment it deserves.

but it won't happen.

i do understand that the difficulty is to make it a "haunted house" movie while trying to keep it a family flick....but come on! if they can do it w/ pirates, they can certainly do it w/ ghosts!
