The film’s producers are Dan Lin and Jonathan Eirich, with Nick Reynolds and Tom Peitzman serving as executive producers.
The film is inspired by the classic Disney attraction of the same name. It can be found in multiple Disney parks throughout the world. The original is at Disneyland and opened in 1969. A movie based on the attraction was also released in 2003 and was directed by Rob Minkoff and starred Eddie Murphy.
