7 Obscure Disney Movies That Should Appear In Disney Dreamlight … – GameRant

Love it or hate it, the Walt Disney Corporation is everywhere. It has created fond memories from most peoples childhoods, and has gobbled up nearly every property in sight, like a cross between Wilson Fisk and Jabba the Hutt, both from companies owned by Disney. The monolith continues its grip on nostalgia with Disney Dreamlight Valley, a cozy Stardew Valley/Animal Crossing hybrid joined by Disneys most well known characters, including Goofy, Wall-E, and many other well known Disney characters.

As good as it is to interact with some all-time greats, Disney Dreamlight Valley should not just be a showcase for Disneys most popular franchises. Many works from the company have been overshadowed and forgotten, denying many of them the praise they deserve. Including content based on these titles will introduce them to a whole new generation. Here are some diamonds in the rough worthy of the spotlight.

John Carter is based on the John Carter of Mars novels written by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The film follows the chronicles of former Confederate officer John Carter, as he is teleported to Mars, and ends up in the crossroads of a political power struggle involving the Princess Dejah Thoris. He also encounters a tribe of violence-loving aliens called Tharks, one of which is voiced by Willem Dafoe.

Unfortunately, John Carter was a commercial failure, but Disney Dreamlight Valley could reintroduce the characters. It could also be a chance to explore other aspects of the Mars books that were never adapted to the big screen. Maybe players can pet Woola, the goodest space dog.

Disney took a shot at a live-action/animation hybrid in the form of Dinosaur, released in the year 2000. For the time, the technology was fairly impressive. It followed an Iguanodon and his adoptive lemur family in their fight for survival, as a meteor shower destroys their home, and forces them to seek out a new one.

Dinosaur could be integrated into Dreamlight Valley fairly easily and unobtrusively. The Animal Crossing games offer a template for this through collectible fossils that can be donated to the museum. These fossils could be used to introduce Dreamlight Valley residents to these characters.

Year Released:

November 25, 1998

John Lasseter

After the success of Toy Story, Pixar Studios followed it up with the entertaining and quotable A Bugs Life. Pixars sophomore outing chronicles the struggle of misfit ant Flik and his colony against the exploitative grasshoppers lead by Hopper.

Disney Dreamlight Valley is already fantastical on its own. Being able to see things from an insects perspective would introduce a whole new cast of characters right under the protagonists feet. Maybe residents can also witness a circus performance from the so-called warriors that Flik ends up recruiting. It certainly wouldn't be out of the ordinary since Buzz Lightyear and Woody are so small compared to the player.

Year Released:

October 23, 2003

Directors:

Robert Walker, Aaron Blaise

Brother Bear follows Kenai, an Inuit youth in Alaska who seeks revenge on the bear that caused the death of his oldest brother. When Kenai kills the bear, he is transformed into one himself, and must rely on a bear cub named Koda to find where the Northern Lights touch the Earth and become human again.

Palling around with some talking bears would fit neatly with the fantastical setting of Disney Dreamlight Valley. Introducing Brother Bear into the game would also help remind players of an important message. When everyone is accusing everyone else of being the enemy, Brother Bear reminds one to try to see the world through the eyes of another, whether that other be a person or a bear.

Release Date:

Disneys Bolt is charming, and it has an interesting premise. A dog who stars alongside his human owner, Penny (voiced by Miley Cyrus) in a TV show, thinks that he really is the super-powered character he plays. When he gets separated from his owner, the dog breaks out of the studio and ventures into the real world to find her. It brings Bolt to an existential crossroads where he learns what it really means to be a hero.

Disney Dreamlight Valley could go a couple ways with this. The game can introduce the characters outside their television roles, or they could be the characters that they play in their in-universe show. If that were the case, then it could have some fun with Bolts superpowers. The most important thing the game would have to do is to allow players to pet the dog.

Release Date:

June 21, 1996

Director:

Gary Trousdale

Disneys The Hunchback of Notre Dame, based on the novel by Victor Hugo, is probably Disneys darkest hand-drawn film. The tale of Quasimodo, a physically abnormal man longing to be accepted by the outside world, is known for tackling the heavy subject of religious hypocrisy. A couple musical numbers were, however, thrown in for good measure, including the chilling villain song Hellfire.

The film has some beautiful artwork, particularly of the city of Paris itself. It would be nice to see some motifs of that appear in the games main town. Although the films leading lady, Esmeralda, is not an official Disney Princess, she deserves her time in the spotlight for her compassion and willingness to stand up to corruption. Since The Hunchback of Notre Dame worked so well in Kingodm Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, there is no reason why it wouldn't fit to have Quasimodo or Esmeralda roaming around Dreamlight Valley.

Release Date:

November 27, 2002

Director:

Ron Clements, John Musker

One of Disneys largest financial flops is one of their most ambitious, visually imaginative, and adventurous animated films ever made. Loosely based on the novel Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, the film follows Jim Hawkins, a rebellious teenager who goes on a space-faring adventure in search of the loot of a thousand worlds. Along the way, he meets John Silver, a cyborg who has ulterior motives, and ends up becoming the father figure Jim always wanted.

Disney Dreamlight Valley already has a couple treasure hunting quests, so it would make sense to add some more treasure hunting adventures with the crew of the RLS Legacy. Soaring in the Etherium would present an opportunity for new kinds of treasures to collect.
