Another theme ride is coming to life, and it’s going to take Woody and Buzz to make it interesting. It worked with Pirates of the Caribbean thanks to Johnny Depp and company, and now Tom Hanks and Tim Allen will take the plunge with Jungle Cruise. Can their animated chemistry work in a live-action film? Disney thinks so:
The Walt Disney Studios is excited to be in development with Mandeville Films and writer Roger S.H. Schulman on a feature film based on the Jungle Cruise, one of the most iconic attractions in Disney theme park history. The film will pair up Tim Allen and Tom Hanks in their first live-action project, after their previous collaborations in the Toy Story trilogy.
From what I’m told of the ride, Jungle Cruise is a leisurely ride along a lagoon with some animatronic animals. Here’s the description of the ride from the Disney site. [Source: Deadline]
