Some Humphrey humor would really elevate this attraction to something special.

Is it possible to just draw some inspiration from past Disney IP? Pieces and parts of Silly Symphonies? Or come up with an original idea that would BECOME an IP? Like Pirates of the Caribbean? I say let's go in the opposite direction make the "It's a Small World" movie. Or "The Enchanted Tiki Room" movie! My idea for the Mary Poppins ride is finally coming true (although shelved for the time being) after being told that it was "a dead property" over 30 years ago- these things take time. A 101 Dalmatians ride would also suit me just fine. Lots of cute puppies, dogs, a crazy villain, scenes of London...

Jack Hannah's direction and George Bruns' music at their classic Disney shorts best! (And of historical note, BG layouts were by Yale Gracey, who would later become one of the top Gen-1 Imagineers.)

For me, I would say the two IPs that really would be great to see utilized more in the parks would be Bambi (maybe in Critter Country) and Robin Hood. Robin Hood is my favorite Disney animated cartoon and I wish it was featured somewhere in the parks more prominently. Still find it hard to believe Bambi has never really had much presence in the parks save for Thumper and Flower walking around as characters to meet & greet.
The Black Cauldron would be fun to see too, though I know it's not popular at all in the slightest. Speaking of the Black Cauldron, the MK in WDW has a small walk-up snack spot in Fantasy Land called Friar's Nook. It was originally called Lancer's Inn, but was re-themed to the Black Cauldron and called Gurgi's Munchies & Crunchies in 1986. However, that only lasted about 6 years and it eventually was re-themed again to Beauty & the Beast as Lumiere's Kitchen in early '93. Then there was Tokyo Disneyland's Castle Mystery Tour which unfortunately closed about 15 years ago, too.

The Society of Explorers and Adventurers. It has sprinkles in some parks, but it's such a great IP, that it should be capitalized on. Heck, bring back the Explorer's club, but put it in DTD this time. Sneak some reference material into the Jungle Cruise while you are at it.Matt's 40th Birthday Disneyland Trip.

I wholeheartedly agree about Treasure Planet, one of the few Disney IPs that would actually make sense in Tomorrowland (Star Wars, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and Tron, delightful as they may be, are clearly not set in the future).
I'll second the call for a Robin Hood attraction in Fantasyland (yes, it's often referred to as "sticks and stones" animation, which essentially means that its setting is too indistinct to base an attraction on, but I want it anyway). I'd also like to see more of a Pocahontas presence (Frontierland, perhaps).
But what I'd like most is some smaller attractions representing the anthology films from the 1940s. Bumble Boogie would fit nicely in either New Orleans Square or Fantasyland (interesting fact: no merchandise has ever been made featuring Bumble the bee, which is a shame, because he's adorable). Johnny Fedora and Alice Bluebonnet, while perhaps not enough to justify a ride, could easily be featured on Main Street somehow. And I wouldn't mind the addition of a singing animatronic Willie the Whale to the Main Street Opera House.

Part of the problem I have with questions like this is that what makes for an enjoyable (and perhaps underrated) movie is not necessarily the same thing that makes for a good theme park attraction. Especially since the start of the Disney Renaissance, the movies tend to be all about fascinating characters, whereas the best rides are about settings or experiences, because the "characters" that really matter are the guests. There needs to be a sense of participation for the guests, and rides that just try to replicate the major beats of a film in third-person perspective (because look! It's your favorite characters!) aren't going to provide that.Like this post? Read more like it at The Disneyland Dilettante!

I'd like them to start mashing up IPs and making attractions that do this well. For example, an attraction that combines the animals from Robin Hood, Jungle Book and Lion King. Create a brand new story that pits the heroes against the villains. This has already been done for shows (Fantasmic! is probably the best example of this), but I think it could also work for a dark ride.

I would love to see a sequel to the Sword in the Stone that covered adult King Arthur. The Arthur legend is probably my favorite piece of fantasy mythology and recent adaptations are generally too gritty for my taste. I'm not looking for a Game of Thrones-like version. This is definitely an example of where just the right amount of Disney touch could make something really special.
