Jungle Cruise Humor

[Wee Sieb]

Does anyone know if Walt intended the jungle cruise to be humorous?? or has it just become that way, did it start out serious???

Well, I'm not sure that they were trying to serious by having the cannibals dance to disco...

It was originally planned by Walt to be serious, based on a True Life Adventure about a group of lions.

It was also originally narrated by Thurl Ravencroft, and did not have the current Skipper spiel.

I think there's also a pretty good segment about the Jungle Cruise on the Disneyland, USA Broadcast DVD set...haven't popped it out in a while, though. It's really interesting how practically none of the ride are as they were originally intended. With some exceptions, like the Tiki Room

I agree. It is one of those rides you really do have to ride when you are there. It is quite fun.
