There are two ways to view Disney's "Jungle Cruise" movie.  The first of these is to dismiss the whole thing is as a cheap IP cash-in.  The second is to actually examine what makes the DisneyWorld ride so very good (Disneyland's version as well) and then see what parts of that translate to the film.  Why don't we do the latter?

Meanderings #237: Yucking it up with "Jungle Cruise"

Focusing on the media, "Lass is More" sits down with the individuals who make the movies and shows that people are, or will be, talking about. The things we watch are not created in a vacuum, but rather as responses to far larger thoughts and issues. From why someone took a role to what it means to them to where they’re going next, we put the pieces of the puzzle together. The "Lass is More" podcast gets to the core of the issue, offering perspective on both the people involved in a project, and the project itself.
