History ComicBook / DisneyKingdoms

* ShoutOut: Danny's grandfather dies in an avalanche climbing the Matterhorn.

* TruerToTheText: Compared to [[Film/TheHauntedMansion the infamous film]], the miniseries is far closer to the spirit (Ha!) of the ride.

* AnAxeToGrind: Constance Hatchaway used one to kill her husbands. Her ghost continued using it after she died, with the twist that dying on the mansion property gave her the power to kill the living and even destroy ghosts with it. [[spoiler:She uses it to decapitate the Captain in the finale.]]

* AffablyEvil: Pickwick. He takes a shine to Danny mostly because he's hoping he'll end up being Ghost 1000 and he's more then happy to have him forget why he even came to the Mansion. [[spoiler:It turns out that was mostly caused by the curse placed on the Ballroom he was first seen in; outside that room he is more or less a helpful NiceGuy.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:Creator/{{Marvel}}'s [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Magic Kingdom]]]]

''Disney Kingdoms'' is a {{Creator/Marvel}} imprint/series based on the attractions of the Ride/DisneyThemeParks and the first major collaboration between Disney and Marvel after the buyout. Shortly after the merger, Joe Quesada attended a baseball game with a group of Disney Imagineers to discuss possible projects and the possibilities of looking to Disney attractions for comic ideas came into discussion. Marvel writers and artists would collaborate with the Imagineers on creating these stories, starting off with one of the biggest examples of WhatCouldHaveBeen for the parks: The Museum of the Weird.

* ''Figment'' (based on ''Ride/JourneyIntoImagination'') - June 2014-October 2014 by Jim Zub and Philipe Andrede

[[folder:Figment]]
[[quoteright:316:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/figmentcover1.jpg]]
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Downplayed for Figment. He mostly acts like he does in the original Journey Into Imagination ride but has a few traits from its third incarnation's version of him, mainly a sharp wit.
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: How the Sound Sprites talk. Anything that doesn't speak in that matter is deemed cacophonic.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Fye's plotline revolves around this. He's considered "defective", so instead of creating music with his wings, he creates a loud buzzing that ''breaks'' things. He's been isolated and imprisoned for creating "bad audio", and is concerned he won't fit in with the others of his kind. [[spoiler: His "defect" comes in handy in the final battle.]]
* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: What happened to Blair's father is never revealed due to him being unmentioned as well as unseen.
* AnAesop: Trying means you might fail, and that's scary, but not trying at all means you'll never succeed. You have the power within yourself to create and achieve, even if you don't know it yet.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Figment has the curiousity and attention span of a young child, much like in the original ride.
* BreakoutHit: Thanks to the nostalgic love for the original attraction on the internet, it has become enough of a best-seller to surprise even Bob Iger and gain a sequel series.
* CyberCyclops: The Singular.
* DisabledInTheAdaptation: Blair wears glasses until becoming the Dreamfinder. In the original Journey Into Imagination ride, he can see just fine.
* DisappearedDad: Blair's father hence why Blair himself is the one working to support the rest of the Mercurial family.
* DownTheRabbitHole: The Mesmonic Convertor's dimensional portal, which drops Dreamfinder and Figment far above the imaginary realm.
* EldritchLocation: The Nightmare Nation is a swirling mass of creatures speaking with a VoiceOfTheLegion. It seems to be the anthropomorphic representation of despair, depression, and art block.
* ExtremeOmnivore: The Chimera loves eating metal.
* TheFairFolk: Sound Sprites are a band of fairies that create things from sound and imprison anything that does not follow their sense of harmony.
* TheGlassesComeOff: What happens when Blarion finally makes the realization that turns him into Dreamfinder. He also has a ''literal'' GrowingTheBeard moment.
* TheGogglesDoNothing: The goggles on top of his head are (seemingly) just for show.
* GogglesDoSomethingUnusual: The goggles on Blair's Mesmonic Converter can bring dreams to life.
* HurricaneOfPuns: A ''literal'' brainstorm, musical creatures imprisoning our heroes in the "bass-ment"...Blarion, as our StraightMan, groans at these, but the rest of his cast likes to make them.
* ImaginaryFriend: Figment was a character Blair came up with as a child, but didn't recognize the memory of at first.
* MamasBoy: Blair's motivation for working at the Scientifica Lucida is to send money back to his impoverished mother and younger siblings. He also gets very upset when Chimera tries to eat his pocket watch, because it was a gift from his mother.
* MassiveNumberedSiblings: One of the brief flashbacks in the first issue shows that Blair has 3 brothers and 2 sisters.
* MixAndMatchCreatures: Figment has the horns of a steer and the snout of a crocodile, among other things.
** Chimera has the body of a dog, multiple sets of legs, back spines, wings, is ''bright pink'', and is at least the size of a large bear.
* MST3KMantra: How does Blair's machine work? Why does it open portals to other universes? As Figment puts it: "Mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter!"
* MythologyGag: The zeppelin from the ride makes a cameo towards the very end.
** The characters, particularly Figment, [[{{WaxingLyrical}} quote "One Little Spark"]], the Sherman Brothers-penned music from the original ride. Fans of ''Journey Into Imagination'' will most likely have it stuck in their head by the time they finish reading.
** The Nightmare Nation is based on the original ride's Literature realm, with Blair landing on a book labeled "Tales of Terror".
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Chimera, the only major female character, is pink, while Fye, the {{Bishounen}} Sound Sprite, is blue.
* {{Prequel}}: ''Figment'' is focused around Dreamfinder's younger days.
* SharpDressedMan: Blarion Mercurial, as in the original ride.
* ShoulderSizedDragon / ShoulderPet: Figment perches this way on the cover of Issue #1.
* ShoutOut: [[WesternAnimation/DonaldInMathmagicLand Mathmagic Land]] gets a shoutout in ''Figment #3'' as one of the other locations in the Imaginary realm.
** In this same scene, [[Series/WaltDisneyPresents the Color Wheel]] gets mentioned.
** The Singular describes Dreamfinder as an "Imagineer" when seeing his talent for creating imaginary portals.
** The ending finds Dreamfinder and Figment sailing off to the strange land of [[spoiler: EPCOT, where the "Journey To Imagination" ride is placed. Spaceship Earth (aka "The Golf Ball") is even seen in the distance.]]
* SignatureHeadgear: Blair's requisite top hat with goggles.
* {{Steampunk}}: Part of the aesthetic of ''Figment'', inspired by the ride's Dreamcatcher vehicle.
* StraightManAndWiseGuy: Dreamfinder and Figment.
* TheEdwardianEra: Setting of ''Figment''.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: Blair wears one.
* TheWonderland: The Imaginary realm.
* YourMindMakesItReal: Blair realizing this lets him and his friends escape from the Sound Sprites' prison.
* ZeppelinsFromAnotherWorld: Somewhat literal when Dreamfinder creates a portal to jump into and create the attraction's iconic flying machine.

* EnemyWithin: The Doubtfinder starts as a nightmare parasiting itself on Dreamfinder's fear and self-doubt until emerging in a failed presentation and possessing Dreamfinder when he attempts to trap him.
* {{Expy}}: Chairman Auckley is one for Dr. Channing in the sense of being too much of a stickler for rules and control but loosening up at the end.
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Dreamfinder and Figment. Dreamfinder's trouble adapting sets the story's conflict into motion.
* FollowingInRelativesFootsteps: Capri wants to be an inventor like her great-great-great-granduncle hence her efforts to apply to the Academy despite being too young to attend.
* GadgeteerGenius: Capri
* GoodParents: Jess is this to Capri, scolding her for ruining a dress due to an experiment but encouraging her to pursue her dream of attending the Academy.
* ImaginaryFriend: Capri brings her imaginary friend Spark the flying cat to life with the mesmonic converter to help her and Figment save Dreamfinder and the Academy Scientifica Lucidus from Doubt. In the final issue [[spoiler: the destruction of the mesmonic converter brings to life imaginary friends belonging to the Academy's students and staff (and Capri's mom Jess)]].
* JourneyToTheCenterOfTheMind: Figment, Capri and Spark tear open a portal into the Doubtfinder and enter to free Dreamfinder from him.
* JumpedAtTheCall: Capri's quick to act on helping Figment save Dreamfinder and the Academy.
* KeepAway: In the final issue, Dreamfinder, Capri, Figment, and Spark wind up using this as a tactic to keep the Mesmonic Converter away from Doubt and those still under its control.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: To a Disney Parks fan, it certainly feels like Dreamfinder has been gone from Epcot for a hundred years.
* MissingChild: At the beginning of the final issue, Jess discovers that Capri has snuck out and left a note giving an unbelievable explanation as to why. She drives to the Academy Scientifica Lucidus to see what is going on for herself due to worrying about her daughter.
* TheMountainsOfIllinois: Mountains are shown in Florida during the first issue; in real life, Britton Hill is the highest natural point in the state at 345 feet above sea level.
* MythologyGag:
** The Academy's American campus is based on Epcot, featuring Spaceship Earth (which mysteriously appeared on the campus 30 years ago) and the actual Journey into Imagination pavilion.
** Blair's birth year is given as 1882 on the plaque of the Academy's statue of him, a century before Epcot first opened.
** A ShoutOut to ''Film/TheAbsentMindedProfessor''/''Film/{{Flubber}}'' 's Dr. Brainard doubles as a nod to the modern attraction's Imagination Institute setting incorporating the Robin Williams version into its mythology.
** One of the lecture halls is named the [[Music/TheShermanBrothers Sherman]] Auditorium
** Many of Spark's rhymes in the last issue reference Disney songs.

* TeenGenius: Capri. Only thing keeping her from admission to the Academy Scientifica Lucidus is her age (13 years old according to WordOfGod). [[spoiler: This changes at the end of the story, as Chairman Auckley decides to make an exception and allow Capri to attend starting the following semester as a reward for saving everyone from the Doubtfinder.]]
* TitleDrop: The Legacy of Imagination subtitle gets dropped by Figment in the fourth issue.

Unfortunately, the imprint has since gone into DevelopmentHell after 2017 and is presumably QuietlyCancelled, as there have been no updates on the series since 2017.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/disney_kingdoms_logo_1.png]] Disney Kingdoms is a {{Creator/Marvel}} imprint/series based on the attractions of the Ride/DisneyThemeParks and the first major collaboration between Disney and Marvel after the buyout. Shortly after the merger, Joe Quesada attended a baseball game with a group of Disney Imagineers to discuss possible projects and the possibilities of looking to Disney attractions for comic ideas came into discussion. Marvel writers and artists would collaborate with the Imagineers on creating these stories, starting off with one of the biggest examples of WhatCouldHaveBeen for the parks: The Museum of the Weird.

* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: The Dreamfinder's name, Blair, is taken from Tony Blair, a famed Disney imagineer and the original ride's co-creator.
