Writer and director Randy Moore had an intriguing idea. He decided to guerilla-style film a movie at Disneyland and Disney World that would expose the family amusement park as

being the dark and seedy mind f*ck that people have suspected it to be for years.

But something happened along the way. “Escape from Tomorrow” got a lot of attention for simply pulling off the miraculous feat, despite the ultra-elite security that patrols the parks. But somewhere along the way, this little movie that is supposed to be a slap in Walt Disney’s face ultimately falls apart because well…..it’s just not very good.

“Escape from Tomorrow” focuses on a husband and father named Jim (Roy Abramsohn), who finds out on the last day of a family vacation that he has lost his job. Unsure of how to break the news to his family, Jim decides to make sure their last day at Disney World is a spectacular success…..

Until he starts to lose his mind. Jim starts to suspect the rides, especially It’s a Small World, are haunted by demons. Then there is a couple of very underage French girls that Jim becomes obsessed with and the witch, with whom Jim has a bizarre midday trist with while his daughter is on a play date.

It gets weirder. And not in a good way. Randy Moore was able to shoot most of the film on site at the Disney parks, but that’s about the only thing interesting about this attempt at Terry Gilliam-esque oddity.
