History Ride / TheGreatMovieRide

The update turned out to be short-lived, however, as after a 28-year run, the attraction was permanently closed on August 13, 2017, with its replacement being a very large-scale ride based on the current [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse2013 Mickey Mouse]] shorts, titled ''Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway'', which is set to open in 2019.

* CulturalAdaptation: While the ride was discussed for premiering at Disneyland Paris' Walt Disney Studios Park, its concept was finally adapted into a stage show/movie mix called Cinémagique, where a man from the audience (Creator/MartinShort) interrupts the projection and is brought in by a magician from a silent movie. He then falls in love with one of its characters (a French actress played by Creator/JulieDelpy) but then they are forced to flee through movie sets spawning all eras of film. The reason for the change was budget issues, stage shows being more popular with French guests and the chance to feature animated characters and French film snippets.

* BookEnds: The ride begins with the song "Hooray for Hollywood!" and also ends with it.

-->'''Mugsy''': Psst, hey, you.
-->'''Tour Guide''': Are you talking to me? Are you talkin’ to me?
-->'''Mugsy''': No, I’m talkin’ to da dame in da funny-lookin’ outfit over dere. Yeah, I'm talkin’ to you.

* BigDamnKiss: The finale montage features several clips of them, including from ''Film/FromHereToEternity'' and ''Film/{{Notorious}}''.

* ''Film/AFistfulOfDollars''

* ReferenceOverdosed: ''Big time''. We could list all of the movies that are shown in the finale montage of the ride, but it would overwhelm the page pretty quickly. The 2015 update added in even ''more'' movie references by making the queue line video into a documentary that talks about all kinds of films from various genres and filling the queue line itself up with digital movie posters that constantly change every few seconds, showcasing posters for films like ''Film/TheExorcist'', ''Film/{{JAWS}}'', ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'', ''Film/CitizenKane'', ''Film/PulpFiction'', ''Film/{{Titanic}}'', and so on.

* PunnyName: A gangster being called "'''mug'''sy" sure seems rather fitting.

In addition to the scenes depicting the above films, the ride also ended on a big montage showcasing a massive number of films from Hollywood's vast history.

''The Great Movie Ride'' is a dark ride that serves as the centerpiece attraction to [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disney’s Hollywood Studios]] at Walt Disney World. Located inside a replica of the famous Hollywood Chinese Theater, the ride takes guests on a journey through some of the most iconic movie moments throughout the history of the American industry, specifically from UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfHollywood to UsefulNotes/NewHollywood.

The ride was given an update with the help of new sponsor Creator/TurnerClassicMovies in 2015: The attraction is now co-narrated by film historian/TCM host Robert Osborne, who also hosts a new preshow documentary film (replacing the old trailer loop) discussing the various films and genres showcased, and the attraction's closing montage has been mostly redone.
