Not all attractions require a motion picture. :(

Why hasn't this been done before? Could there be a reason. Just sayin'.

I mean, how many people have gotten off "Small World" and said "Wow, I can't wait 'til they make a movie version of this ride". I'm waiting.

Actually, I can't believe Disney hasn't come up with a way of merchandising all those dolls for 50 years. What took them so long?

oh no! They are devising a way to take that 'torturous song' to the masses that are unable to make it to one of the Disney parks! :D Is this a plot to take over the world one movie theater at a time?

Didn't they already do this with "The Cheetah Girls: One World?" :mickey:
