Saw Haunted Mansion and....

[Rock'n Robin]

it wasn't very crowded! Shouldn't the 5:30 showing on the day before Thanksgiving be crowded? (DH and I saved $3 a piece because we went before 6.
I enjoyed it although there weren't very many laugh-out-loud or very scary moments--it was a pleasant enough family movie--the girls (8 and 11) liked it a lot, DS (5) was scared a couple of times. Several times we were the only ones laughing--Disney freak in-jokes, I guess!
PS--for your Shakespearean Disney freaks--I was going crazy trying to figure out where I had seen Mr. Gracie before--I had to get online the minute I got home and look up the cast list--the most recent thing he's done is "Beverly Hills NInja", which wasn't it! But later in his bio it listed a bunch of Shakespearean stuff he's been in including Mel Gibson's Hamlet--which I show every year--it's Laertes!!!! I knew I had seen him somewhere before!!

We saw the 5:15 showing this evening, not too many people there and we were glad!

Me, DH and my boys ages 12 & 13 really liked it.

It's like a romantic comedy mystery all rolled into one!

I loved the "singing busts" and thought they were hysterical!

A definte must see for all Haunted Mansion (the ride) fans!

And that Master Gracey (played by Nathaniel Parker) is very easy on the eyes, not to mention that great accent of his:

I knew I had seen him before! Thanks for the info Rock'n Robin. The movie was wonderful. I just couldn't get over all the details that were incorporated from the ride. I think I was one of the very few in the movie who actually understood most of the storyline and in jokes. I caught myself almost speaking aloud things just because I knew where those little things came from.

Liked the sets, liked the music, pretty disappointed in the rest of it.

Just saw the Haunted Mansion Holiday at DLR a couple of weeks ago and WOW That was fantastic We've got to get that going at WDW

Master Gracie was hot, but otherwise the movie stunk.

I did like the singing busts.

Did you stay for the VERY end?

I was very surprised that the 7:45 pm show was relatively empty. Loved the singing busts and the other references to the attraction, but for the most part the movie was rather dull and disappointing.
