Since the early 2000s Disney has been trying everything in their power to recapture the magic of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. With numerous failed attempts at a new franchise they accidentally created a new subgenre of films in the process, a subgenre I like to call the “Failed Next Big Thing”. 2021’s Jungle Cruise is a prime example of this idea, so today I want to examine this film to find out why it never landed with audiences.
