A film based on the Jungle Cruise attraction was planned from around 2006 into the 2010s. As announced in the February of 2011, this film would have starred actors Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, a duo best known in Disney for their work in the Toy Story franchise as Sheriff Woody and Buzz Lightyear respectively. The film was purportedly motivated by the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean films and was developed for Mandeville Films, with a script written by Josh Goldstein and John Norville.
