The film will star the likes of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Emily Blunt, and Jack Whitehall. It’s safe to say that Jungle Cruise has all the star power that it needs to pull in the proverbial and literal numbers. However, everything else that you might want to know about Jungle Cruise before its premiere date might have gotten lost in the sea of information that is the internet. So, we’ve decided to plot your course for you and provide all the information that you need to know about Jungle Cruise before it premieres later this month.
What is the story of Jungle Cruise?
Jungle Cruise is literally as old as Disneyland itself. The attraction first debuted in 1955 and is one of the few that Walt Disney had a hand in the creation of that remains popular today. The popular ride takes audiences on a boat ride through jungles based in Africa, Asia, and South America. Similar to other Disney attractions, it takes advantage of realistic animatronic hippos, rhinos, and even tribal natives who will try and “hit” your boat. A common feature in every cruise is the skipper, who is the dryly humorous pilot that will try and improvise a pun at every turn.
En route to finding the Tree of Life, which supposedly has the power to heal people, the two find themselves competing against other expeditions and braving the elements, both supernatural as well as those that are native to the jungle.
