Jungle Cruise Turns The Disney Rides Biggest Lie Into A Reality

Jungle Cruise, starring The Rock and Emily Blunt, is based on the classic Disney Parks ride, but takes its biggest lie and makes it a reality. Jungle Cruise is only the latest movie adaptation of a Disney ride following Pirates of the Caribbean, the mostly forgettable Haunted Mansion and Tomorrowland, and the now quite obscure Tower of Terror TV movie. Jungle Cruise clearly took some cues from Pirates of the Caribbean, as well as top adventure franchises like Indiana Jones and The Mummy.

Borrowing from other successful things isn’t necessarily anything to be ashamed of, as it’s all about how a movie combines its various elements into a cohesive whole that’s important. Just about every possible idea has been done before, and Jungle Cruise may not be a beacon of originality, but all moviegoers are really asking from it is a thrilling, action-packed good time starring two huge stars in Dwayne Johnson and Mary Poppins Returns’ Emily Blunt. From most reactions so far, it delivers on that promise.

The Jungle Cruise ride is a fan-favorite and has been around for a long time, opening in 1955 at Disneyland and 1971 at Disney World. While aspects have aged poorly over time, the adventurous, yet silly spirit it features still draws new riders in. Of course, everyone riding Jungle Cruise is fully aware that all the hazards are fake, and nothing is actually going to hurt them. The characters in the movie have no such luxury.

Jungle Cruise, while featuring theoretically deadly animals and angry native people with weapons, is a very lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek ride experience. That’s evident by all the corny jokes the boat captains tell, such as the “backside of water” joke. It’s obvious there’s no real danger, even though the premise is that there is. That same trailer shows that to make money, The Rock’s Frank Wolff takes tourists on riverboat cruises, complete with many of the same fake scares present in the real-life ride, including “natives” that are clearly hired to play the part.

That might give viewers of the Jungle Cruise movie a false sense of security, but unlike the ride, the danger is just around the corner. Once Frank’s boat is free of the confines of his usual stretch of river, and he’s on the hunt for the Tree of Life with scientist Lily Houghton (Blunt), it’s clear that the real jungle holds many actual threats. As Frank mentions, everything they see wants to kill them. That definitely goes for the German aristocrat (Jesse Plemons), and his lead mercenary (Edgar Ramirez), that are looking to either beat Frank and Lily to the Tree or take it from them during the Mummy-style Jungle Cruise adventure. That’s not to mention the supernatural elements in play surrounding the Tree. Jungle Cruise the ride may be a pretend adventure, but the movie is the real deal.
