“It’s A Small World, After All! It’s A Small World, After All!”
Remember when people initially chuckled at the idea of Disney turning its Pirates of The Caribbean ride into a movie? I’d say that one worked out for them. Then they did it again with their Haunted Mansion attraction. That one? Not so much. It turned a modest profit, but it didn’t lead to much else. Well, now Disney is at it again. They’re planning a feature film adaptation of their It’s A Small World ride. That’s not all. They’ve hired a director, and they intend this to be a franchise.
Jon Turteltaub, he of the National Treasure movies and last year’s sleeper hit Last Vegas, has been tapped to helm It’s A Small World. Deadline is reporting that he’s also producing the film, along with Dan Lin of The Lego Movie.
