List of mass media based on Disney theme-park attractions
This is a media based upon Disney attractions produced by Walt Disney Pictures. While Disney Parks generally adapt movies into rides, some Disney theme park attractions have been adapted into or have served inspiration for films,[1] books,[2] comic books,[3] and television pilots. Disney entered the television field with a network TV show named after Disneyland (which was then its only park, and was being built at the time), in order to fund the park. In this series, some episodes featured the park or a park attraction.[4] The Walt Disney Company pioneered and is the only film company and theme park company to have converted theme park attractions to film productions. However, lackluster results were achieved for most of these films except for the Pirates of the Caribbean series.[5] Walt Disney Pictures produced two Pirates of the Caribbean sequels in 2006 and 2011 that made approximately a billion dollars each at the box office.[6]
At first, Disney had merely dabbled with this type of film. Disney Telefilms made the first movie-based-on-ride, Tower of Terror, for the Wonderful World of Disney anthology television series in 1997.[7] In 2000, Touchstone Pictures made Mission to Mars based on the closed ride of the same name.[5][8]
With the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise being on Disney's top franchise,[6] the company had been looking for additional projects in this category.[9] Disney Pictures took another push at additional adaptations in the 2010s.[9]
