Which would be different from A Pirates of the Caribbean Movie in which a precocious kids meet somes pirates and hilarity ensues. Which would be different from It's a Small World Movie in which many precocious children meet and sing a song till you puke.

Something like that. You almost wish it were about "A precocious kid enters a creepy old house and meets some playful ghosts and hilarity ensues."

Originally Posted By brotherdave LOL! Yeah, supposedly Eddie Murphy is to be signed for the role. It might actually be "frightfully funny"! Or not, you never know with Eddie. Let's hope it doesn't succeed too much. Could you imagine Eddie Murphy's wisecracks replacing Paul Frees' legendary narration as the Ghost Host in the ride. UGHHH!!! Now THIS sends shivers down my spine!
