a Haunted Mansion animated Thing was in the works for some time before Disney shut it down because quote "theme park rides were to valuable a IP to be wasted on animation"

Yeah, wow, gosh, imagine consigning anything valuable to the dark depths of

checks notes

the most successful animation studio in history

It matches up pretty well with the scrapped concept teaser they put out five-ish years ago

that has since been wiped off the internet from the looks of it

Disney Being Disney I see

Unsurprising but disheartening.

Though to be fair, handing it to the Muppets wasn't a bad idea

.....you know, as opposed to releasing the new haunted mansion movie with no marketing, in the middle of summer, such that it fails despite from what I understand it being a decent movie?

disney's priorities are so fucked

Yeah, it was literally sent out to die in theaters for a Disney+ run. It was. A Choice.

the recent management's view of animation is just so baffling

IIRC Chapek was very anti-animation, for instance

imagine running the most successful animation industry in existence

and hating it
