Added DiffLines:

Disney´s ''Ghosts''. Think about it. What if Walt Disney Company used the plot of a Creator/HenrikIbsen play, more or less? This is a possible take on the play Theatre/{{Ghosts}}. And Disney would have turned it around to a HappyEnding, with Regina Engstrand and Oswald Alving as the AlphaCouple, and Manders and Helen Alving as the BetaCouple. The movie would have casted Engstrand the Carpenter as the actual villain, with a complete DisneyVillainDeath in the fire between the second and the third act of the original play. His villainy would have been played far more visible than in the play. Other twists would include a lot of songs, and a plot twist (hinted upon, but not stated by Ibsen), making Manders the actual father of Oswald, and thus avoiding the whole Syphilis thing. Regina, on the other hand, is, of course, the daughter of the late captain Alving, avoiding {{Squick}}, but making a possible pairing up at the very end. A HeelFaceTurn from Manders is to be expected, as he gallantly proposes to Helen, overcoming his internal demons. ''And they all live happily ever after''.

!! This movie would have contained examples of these tropes:

* CrowdSong: At the start of the play, when everyone in the town prepares for the great initiation of the Alving memorial home. Also a song about how splendid Alving was, in the view of the townspeople.
* IWantSong: Prominently from Regina ("I want to go to Paris"). Sung after her encounter with Engstrand, whom she believes to be her father.
