Unfortunately, this is the last week we're going to show a movie for this month, what with examinations and fulfillment of requirements keeping everyone busy until the last week of school before the long-awaited semestral break (officially commencing on October 26, Saturday and will be until November 4, Monday). It's sad that we cannot spend the Halloween festivities with you, but we have made sure to at least get in the mood!
On Friday, we visit The Haunted Mansion, a fantasy comedy film based on an attraction of the same name at several Disney theme parks, namely: Disneyland (in California, United States), Magic Kingdom (a Walt Disney World in Florida, United States), and Tokyo Disneyland (which is of course, in Japan).
This is actually Disney's fifth film based on an attraction at its theme parks, following Tower of Terror (The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror), Mission to Mars (same name), The Country Bears (Country Bear Jamboree), and Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (Pirates of the Caribbean).
The film was directed by Rob Minkoff (who is known for co-directing the Academy Award–winning animated epic feature, The Lion King, along with Roger Allers) and stars Eddie Murphy (who you'll probably remember best for voicing Donkey in the Shrek series and the Chinese dragon, Mushu, in Disney's animated musical film, Mulan) as Jim Evers, a workaholic real estate agent who has little time for his family, wife Sara, daughter Megan, and son Michael.
Come join us as we follow the Evers family and find out if they do conquer the scary Haunted Mansion and its creepy residents. Film showing happens every Friday in the Grade School Learning Resource Center, at 4:00 P.M. until the movie finishes. All kinds of suggestions, questions, or clarifications are welcome so never hesitate to approach any of the librarians and staff you see.
