I have no idea why Disney couldn't have just been happy with their great/fun/fantastic pirates ride and the great/fun/fantastic movie based on the pirates ride. Why did they have to go and marry the two? I honestly thought they were adding in Jack Sparrow into one or two scenes. I didn't really understand that it was a complete re-do. I didn't know they were going to change the narration, change the music, etc., etc., etc.

I'm tempted to not see it for myself, to keep in tact the memory of the ride I love, and continue to enjoy its derivative film.

God. It's like that time I was in a book store and saw the book adaptation of Little Women that was based on the movie Little Women that was based on the *actual* Little Women book.

What. The. FRIG? Read the original book, dammit. Don't read the book based on the movie based on the book.

Just like that, I don't want to ride a Pirates that's based on the movie Pirates that's based on the ride Pirates. I JUST WANT TO RIDE THE ORIGINAL PIRATES. And watch the movie now and again.

Bummer!
