Join us as we take a Spectacular Journey Into The Movies with WDWNT’s special Great Movie Ride episode of WDW News Tonight. Every week, we try to theme each News Tonight to any relevant holidays or happenings, but there’s no greater occasion than the 31st anniversary of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and we decided to go all out and pay tribute to one of our favorite (and still dearly missed) iconic attractions of yesteryear. Below, you’ll find some of our wacky ride scene recreations, plus our Top 7 countdown of top scenes from the attraction, and some fun spoofs, such as rejected films, Great Movie Ride Grief Counseling, and more.
