Disney — Season 7 — The Black Case Diaries

The Case of The Haunted Mansion (2003)

We’ve seen movies based on books, comic books, fairy tales, myths, and even songs. But this week, we’re looking into another Disney film that was based on a theme park ride! Last year, we did an episode on The Hollywood Tower of Terror, a 1997 made-for-TV film based on an iconic ride at Walt Disney World (the one at Walt Disney Land is no more.) Since Tower of Terror made its debut, Disney has produced several films based on some of its most popular theme park attractions, the most successful being Pirates of the Caribbean. In the Fall of 2003, Disney released a live-action film based on its spookiest ride: The Haunted Mansion.

Snow White and the Seven Cases (1937)

They knew that if Walt thought it was possible, then they better find a way to make it happen.

The result was, of course, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs; the film that launched countless others. Snow White is not only one of the most important animated films ever made, it’s one of the most important films in cinema history. It made an indelible mark on cinema, and set a standard for animation to which films today still aspire. So, as we continue on in August, get ready to sing, dance, and fall in love with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
