| The Haunted Mansion : 3 of 5 | |

 Even though the movie was only so-so (despite being very true to the ride), I still had to buy the DVD for the bonus features. For what I think is the first time, the DVD-ROM extras are Macintosh compatible, so I was able to watch them on my iMac! The best thing is a long QuickTime movie about the making of the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland, with lots of great footage of the ballroom ghosts, the construction of the house, laying down the Omnimover track, and lots of good interviews, too. There's also some really cool interactive features, including a way to take a photograph and transform it into a ghost or a singing bust (really fun!). The documentaries about the movie are pretty good, and go into a lot of detail about the various ride elements and where they show up in the movie. I really liked the audio commentary, too, since I'm a big fan of Don Hahn (the producer), who cracks jokes through the whole movie. It's still not a spectacular film, but I love the special effects and the bonus material, so the DVD was definitely worth it.
