The new 2023 Haunted Mansion was Awesome!!! It was so funny! My family and I were having a great time in the theater.
And it was Spooky! I loved the genuine jumpscares I had. Don't get me wrong I wasn't out of my wits terrified. But the ghosts designs were right up my alley. And I genuinely jumped or gasped when some of the ghosts appeared, or lunged at the living. I felt like I was in the Haunted Mansion ride when the cart suddenly makes a sharp turn and you get a jolt of adrenaline. I LOVE that I felt that way. It was so cool that the movie made me feel like I was on a wonderful Disney ride.
!!!!SPOILERS!!!!SPOILERS!!!!SPOILERS!!!!
The set was amazing, and the costumes were stunning. And the ART! All the paintings on the wall being exactly how they usually are, and the police sketch! It was a perfect touch!
And the background lore of the Mansion was perfect. I love that they gave a different version of events then the 2003 Haunted Mansion. Don't get me wrong I love the first Haunted Mansion. It will always be beloved to me, because of how much I watched and enjoyed the movie growing up. But the two movies other then the setting really aren't comparable. The 2003 version is about a family struggling to appreciate eachother. The parents don't have time for eachother or their kids. And its only when the ghosts threaten to tear their family apart do they realize what they have. The 2023 story is all about already losing people. And how the living is struggling to move on, much like the ghosts. Both are trapped in a world of grief and are fighting for peace. I know that Gracey loosing his beloved was also a part of the original film, but it was really focused on now.
All in all giving us a fresh story with no heavy connection with the previous one is awesome. This new Haunted Mansion isn't just recycling, it's given us something new, but with a warm familiar feeling. I am so glad that this movie really holds its own.
Disney has had a bad habit of taking a story and recreating the same tale with the same heros and the same outcome. These movies just feel like something old, and bland. They lack the magic and charm that the originals had. But this story had different heros, a different Villan. And every bit as charming and lively as a Disney Tale should be. Overall it felt like a beautiful addition to a wonderful world.
And I can't forget how wonderfully sweet it is. It is jam packed with grief. The actors really know how to show their characters pain. And it shows healing. The characters acknowledge their grief, confront it, learn that they arent alone, and how to live again and find friendship and family. I loved every character, and they were all played to perfection.
I am extremely delighted with this movie and it's definitely a movie I will watch again and again. Every spooky season, and on those days that I just want something fun and good.

An evening of unexpected discoveries: when you watch "How to Build a Better Boy" for the first time, and you realize that you've seen Mae's dad somewhere before, and it turns out that he's the same actor who will play Doc Brown in the musical "Back to the Future".
Seriously, another genius scientist?
Seriously though, I love how protective Dr. Hartley is of Mae. I know Doc Brown has sons Jules and Verne, but it would be great to see his daughter too...
I really love that in our "Descendants" dub, Jay is voiced by the same actor as Gene from "Super 4", Chase and Heckyl from "Power Rangers: Dino Charge", Preston from "Power Rangers Ninja Steel", Ravi from "Power Rangers Beast Morphers", Jay from "Lego Ninjago", Donatello from "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2012", Marco from "Star vs. the Forces of Evil". It's funny how some of these characters look similar to each other.
That is actually so funny to think about
My friend called me this morning and just started off with no hello or anything.
"You know in Once Upon A Studio where every Disney character comes to life? Where are the Pixar characters?"
"It's just the disney characters, the Pixar characters are probably at Pixar studios."
"They're probably fighting for their life."
"Huh."
"The Pixar characters are in life threatening situations every second in some of their movies. They're probably fighting a monster or something."
"Go to sleep."
And I couldn't stop thinking of how funny the idea was

My drawing of Lightyear for those who created this great movie. I don't care if they say it was the worst movie, for many it was one of the best movies because it was based on one of the most beloved characters and toys from Toy Story
