I certainly see Illumination making a Popeye movie eventually, maybe Woody Woodpecker...
I feel the rest needs to be replaced by SloP and Minions honestly
Sony Animation I believe was who was working on an animated Popeye (before that got canceled for the abomination of The Emoji Movie) so at this point; I think they still own the film rights.
Perhaps someone can clear that up for me, but I doubt Illumination or DreamWorks has any control on that IP.
I Disagree. I don't think the Studios NEEEDS ET. Look at Hollywood Studios. People are still going there and they have far less attractions than USF. As Long as HP is there people will go capacity crowds or not. I hate to admit that as a none harry potter lover or whatnot but I highly doubt ET is any kind of people eater to justify it needing to be open for today's crowd interest.
Neither do I, and that ET doesn't has as much of a bearing as one would think nowadays.
I hope I am wrong, but I don't see it having as much of an importance as opposed to something like Jaws or Back to The Future nowadays.
