From somewhere deep in my files: a piece of concept art for Song of the South, the Disney animated / live action movie that was the source of inspiration for the deeply enjoyable Splash Mountain.
Back when Tomorrowland's America Sings at Disneyland was sadly set to be demolished, Imagineer Tony Baxter thought about what to do with the great characters by Marc Davis that were turned into Audio-Animatronics. The combination story and flume ride approved by Michael Eisner and Frank Wells was so popular another version was created for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. All goes to show even a troubled movie can turn into a great the park attraction!
