According to Deadline, Disney is developing a movie based on the attraction Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride. As many fans know the Walt Disney World version of the ride closed in 1998 to make way for The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. At Disneyland, it is one of the longest running attractions.

Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride was based on Disney’s adaptation of The Wind in the Willows. Justin Springer, the producer of Tron:Legacy, is on board to produce the film and the studio is currently looking for a writer to pen the script. Disney has had success with adapting Pirates of the Caribbean but there were also some stumbles like the Eddie Murphy Haunted Mansion adaptation. At this point I’m taking a wait and see approach but it would be nice to see Mr. Toad ride again.

A classic Disney tale comes to life in this outrageous comedy adventure filled with high-spirited antics and madcap fun! Bring the whole family along on MR. TOAD’S WILD RIDE, a live-action woodland fantasy adapted from the pages of the classic children’s novel THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS. Mr. Toad (Terry Jones) is literally driving his friends crazy with his powerful passion for motorcars — selling off the town’s land to replace each vehicle he crashes! It’s up to Mole (Steve Coogan), Rat (Eric Idle), and Badger (Nicol Williamson) to put an end to the lunacy and save “Toad Hall” from falling into the hands of the conniving Weasels, who plan to turn it into a dog food factory! Includes guest star Bernard Hill (LORD OF THE RINGS) and John Cleese and Michael Palin (MONTY PYTHON

I feel like it makes no sense to do so. The ride was already based on a short that is still available on video.
