DVD Reviews of The Haunted Mansion (Full Screen Edition)
DVD Review: No Doom Buggie Ride in this one.
Summary: 1 Stars
Everyone likes the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland and Walt Disney World, but will they like this film based upon the classic amusement ride?
The first flaw is Eddie Murphy was cast in the lead role. Don Knotts was once chosen for a part, but negotiations did not work out. I kept thinking of other actors that would fit the bill better, Robin Williams, Paul Rodriguez or even Tom Hanks and Shelly Long.
Black people do get hypertension, so maybe the film works. Black people do not like to be portrayed as stupid, though. I was disappointed in this film. I did not care for the casting of Eddie Murphy or the cast of "a black family".
I was hoping for a definitive story of the Haunted Mansion with the pirate and the bride.
I did not care for the written-for-the-movie story of an unprofessional African-American real estate agent and his family being scared in the Mansion.
What does make this film fun are the recognizable surprises from the real Haunted Mnsion in Disneyland (Anaheim, California USA): The coffin carriage outside the mansion, Master Gracey's hanging, old man with dog, hitchhiking ghosts, ballroom dancing ghosts, floating candelabra, hand from the coffin and Madame Leota.
Madame Leota is played by Jennifer Tilly in this film version.
There are many other interesting things from the real Haunted Mansion and some Hidden Mickeys too.
Bonus features include a 12-minute featurette "The Haunted Mansion--Secrets Revealed". An 11-minute featurette, "Anatomy of a Scene: Ghosts in the Graveyard". There is one deleted scene and 63 outtakes, "Superstition" music video by Raven, audio commentaries and Enhanced Computer features for your PC.
The best feature of this entire DVD is "Disney's DVD Virtual Ride: The Haunted Mansion". There are three trails through the Haunted Mansion. The first trail takes you upstairs in the Hallway. There are two different variations. The second trail is a spooky one to the Ballroom. It plays straight through. The third one is to the library. if you choose not to click on the small statue bust, then your trip will end soon and differently. If you choose to click on the bust, you will find the "secret room". if you complete the trails, the two ghosts will see you again with the carriage behind them. This will lead you to the cemetary. There you have two more trails.
How come they never ask the Original Mouseketters to do cameo appearances?
If they wanted to make a "Haunted Mansion 2" ,I would call it "Haunted Mansion Boo".
Update: July 2010. Guillermo Del Toro will produce and write a new Disney's Haunted Mansion movie for 2012. This time it will be scary and fun. Eddie Murphy will not be in this on.
The new story will include the Hat Box Ghost (first seen on Disneyland's ride during the first year in 1969, but removed).
Description of The Haunted Mansion (Full Screen Edition)
HAUNTED MANSION - DVD MovieLush production design and sparkling special effects make The Haunted Mansion pretty to look at. Terence Stamp (The Limey), as a malevolent ghost of a butler, provides a suitable air of menace as dematerializes to and fro. Marsha Thomason (Black Knight) is lovely as a real estate agent hired to sell a haunted mansion, but in truth the ghostly owner of the mansion believes she is the reincarnation of his lost love. Wallace Shawn (My Dinner with Andre) and Dina Waters (Six Feet Under) make a modestly amusing comic pair as a ghostly husband and wife who bustle about. Jennifer Tilly (Bound), as a green disembodied head in a crystal ball, glitters appropriately. The movie also features endless clichés, futile attempts at humor, and Eddie Murphy. If you're looking for a movie based on a Disneyland ride, try the very clever Pirates of the Caribbean instead. --Bret Fetzer
