Disney is rebooting "The Haunted Mansion" with writer Katie Dippold ("Parks and Recreation," "The Heat," "Snatched") and producers that brought us last year's live-action hit "Aladdin."
The movie is based off of a ride that was opened in Disneyland in 1969 and has been a staple ever since. It also spawned a 2003 movie of the same name starring Eddie Murphy. The original movie was a box office success, but never spawned a sequel.
Disney has had success with movies based off of rides before with "Pirates of the Caribbean" being the most obvious example. They also tried to base another film from a ride called "The Country Bears," which was not successful. I guess we'll see which route this one takes!
I'm super excited for this considering the first movie brought us THIS bop of a cover by Raven-Symone
