The Haunted Mansion & the Spirit of Compromise

Welcome Foolish Mortals! The Haunted Mansion is one of the most beloved attractions ever created for a Disney theme park. It has entertained millions since its original opening in 1969 at Disneyland and has been in one form or another in Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. What makes this attraction work is the creative compromise that Disney Imagineers sought to put into it over the years. We talk about that compromise rare among artists--and how one has to jump "off the page" if you are really going to create an experience as timeless as this one. Because it is beloved, a new Haunted Mansion film came into the theaters. This has not been the blockbuster the Studio hoped it would be. We'll spend a little bit of time conjecturing why this might be. Let's look at the Haunted Mansion and how Creative Compromise is not really, that scary. We believe that you'll find takeaways for you and your organization as far. ____________________________________________________________ More Disney Insights can be found below!
