Haunted Mansion
digs into the mythology of the version of the ride in Disneyland's New Orleans Square and starts on a truly miserable note. Astrophysicist Ben meets cute with haunted NOLA tour guide Alyssa , who then dies offscreen, leaving him depressed, drunk, and discredited. His unlikely chance at redemption comes when single mom Gabbie and her Urkel-meets-Manny-from-son, Travis , who wants him to prove that the ghosts in the house she just brought are real.
But none of those names is why anyone will be buying a ticket. It's to see one of the most beloved theme park rides in the world get the big-screen treatment, and director Justin Simien delivers, in a way. Fifty-nine years later, the work of lead Imagineers Marc Davis and Claude Coats and their team still captivates park guests with its Victorian Gothic mix of scary, silly, and show tunes.is basically one giant collection of Easter eggs, from endless corridors to hitchhiking ghosts. Yet even fans of the ride will only get so much pleasure from being able to tick off the checklist of decorative nods.
The best inclusion of all is Jared Leto as the malicious Hatbox Ghost: Much like his absurdly, delightfully hammy turn as Paolo Gucci in, he's having so much pantomime fun that his scenes are at least a little infectious. Unfortunately, you see about as much of the Hatbox Ghost on the ride as you do in the film, denying it an opportunity for a Jack Sparrow-esque charismatic maniac.
