The Great Movie Ride was an opening day attraction at Hollywood Studios, originally named Disney-MGM Studios, in 1989. It was built inside a replica of Hollywood's TCL Chinese Theatre and showcased movie history.
Guests rode in movie theater seat-style cars and a cast member joined to narrate while passing movie props, costumes, and iconic film scenes. The movies included "The Wizard of Oz," "Mary Poppins," "Singin' in the Rain," and "Indiana Jones."
The riders also became part of the show when the cars were jumped by an outlaw or gangster who then fought a cast member. This would then lead passengers down one of two different tracks and storylines.
In 2015, Turner Classic Movies sponsored the ride, slightly altering the pre-show and finale with its own film content, and adding film historian Robert Osbourne as the narrator. But this was short-lived as The Great Movie Ride, the last remaining attraction from opening day, closed in 2017.
This was mostly due to Disney's plans to focus more on it's own brand and intellectual property. It was replaced by the very first Mickey Mouse-themed ride in Disney World, Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway, which opened in 2020. The tornado scene from The Great Movie Ride is incorporated in it.
