Jungle Cruise Pitch Meeting

Step inside the pitch meeting that led to Jungle Cruise!
Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: goo.gl/ho3Hg6
Walt Disney struck gold in 2001 when their movie Pirates of the Caribbean, based on a Disney theme park ride, became a massive international hit and made them tons of money. Since then, they’ve made five Pirates movies and completely milked the franchise for all it’s worth. At the same time, they attempted to adapt other Disney rides into movies, with little to no success. Haunted Mansion, Tomorrowland, Country Bears. Now, 20 years after the first pirates movie - their latest attempt is Jungle Cruise!
Jungle Cruise definitely raises some questions. Like why is The Rock always in the jungle? Why does this plot sound exactly like The Mummy and like Pirates of the Caribbean at the same time? What’s up with that guy’s face splitting open and snakes jumping out of it? Why does Frank speak perfect modern American English? Why did Lily intend to sacrifice thousands of lives to save a guy that explicitly said he wanted to die?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Jungle Cruise! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

It was INFURIATING when Lily decided to use the flower on Frank. She was sacrificing thousands of lives and her own life's goal for the sake of a man who wanted to die. To make matters worse she had no way of knowing that she would get a second petal or that the first petal would even save Frank. It could have very easily just been a waste

[@Jadex56]

I hated how they were like oh no we can’t find her cause she left the river, then she immediately goes back to the river and proceeds to stay on the river for the rest of movie

[@StarryEyed0590]

To be fair, I think most people in her situation would take the immediate chance of saving a loved one vs. an also uncertain chance (will the petal even survive research? If it's magic, will "research" even produce any kind of results?) of potentially saving an unknown number of hypothetical strangers. Also, MacGregor had JUST told her Frank's last words were that she was world enough for him, so she knew he didn't actually want to die anymore.

In Leverage one scene talks about a character that's been chained to a chair and dumped into a pool sucking oxygen from the wood he's chained to.

It sounds crazy but... the whole show does and I know for a fact the majority of it is based in reality. .

​@@zoltanszaszi2264 Err...no. CPR has more to do with the chest compression to keep the blood flowing. Mouth-to-mouth breathing is optional for bystanders.

Jungle Cruise was also similar to Raya and the Last Dragon (spoilers for both movies btw) -Main character needs to find something (or in Raya, multiple things) to help hundreds of people -Most of the movie takes place on a boat -Main character teams up with the person who’s in charge of the boat to help get these things -People turn to stone -At the end of the movie, one of the main characters turns to stone but then turns back into a person because they got the thing that they were looking for

[@Bazerald777]

Sounds more like One Piece to me.

[@fabulousjekster28]

Its also basically the same plot as the second anaconda movie. -in anaconda theres a flower that could possibly heal any disease and even bring immortality (instead of a plant, jungle cruise changes to a tree -the exploration team goes to amazonas -the captain of the boat has a pet, In anaconda it's a monkey and In jungle cruise it's a giant killer cat -the two paths that they must choose in the river (it's even the same split path river) -the waterfall, but, while in anaconda they didn't managed to get away from it and ended up starting a chain of events that eventually killed most of the crew by a giant snake and the scientist, jungle cruise managed to don't do that. -the indigine tribe, in anaconda they are all dead when the rest of the crew arrive and thanks to that the crew made a wooden boat, was betrayed by the scientist guy that run away with the boat to get the flower, while jungle cruise the tribe is alive and help them. -both of the plants can only blooms when the requirements are completed, while the flower in anaconda only blooms each few decades, the tree in jungle cruise only blooms by Making that damn puzzle. -both films end with the surviving crew (the whole crew in case of jungle cruise) having to go home in a shitty boat, while jungle cruise is just a destroyed boat, in anaconda it's just a wooden plataform

[@vmcmillan4456]

Raya and the last dragon should be named Raya: The last Mashup. I swear the writers basically do a mindstorm of sagas and build (copy) from there

[@Turtleform]

30:1 view ratio. Screen Rant needs to get all the way off his back and let him do whatever he wants.

[@dusanrenat5567]

I do agree that his videos are waaaaay better than anything else on Screen Rant currently, but let's be fair here - him being on Screen Rant definitely helped him as well, he got much bigger audience in the early stages of his rise to fame.

[@Dayvit78]

@@dusanrenat5567 Every hero has an origin story. But here's the thing, Ryan's views continue to grow. Screen Rant has fallen way off - meaning they are no longer creating the content that made them popular in the early days. If they were pulling their weight, they'd also be growing.

“So part of the curse is that he exhales oxygen?” “Yeah sure, idc”😭🤣🤣

[@happykillmore349]

I mean, all humans exhale oxygen. It's literally biology 101. No one uses 100% of the oxygen the breath in. It's literally how cpr works...

[@solidaverage]

And keeping someone trapped under water alive by having people swim down and breathe into their mouth is an actual technique. It was part of lifeguard training I had. Never had to really do it; I expect that in real life the trapped person would be too panicked for it to work.

[@samuels.2411]

the problem is he is cursed to not die and i think he is a zombie or something like this. so the chance that he exhales breathable air is rather slim.

[@ygkemosabi8280]

@@happykillmore349 you really dont want to have a literal biology argument about how this curse works.... lol

He wasn't exhaling oxygen though, he was giving her the air he was holding in his mouth. That's why he had to go back up for more.
