Yeah, the Mike Myers version was REALLY, REALLY bad. Hopefully this new one will be better.
Which is weird because the Jim Carrey Grinch seems to have become somewhat of a classic. How did they make two films on such opposite ends of the spectrum.Yeah, the Mike Myers version was REALLY, REALLY bad. Hopefully this new one will be better.
I’m reminded of Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion films.Which is weird because the Jim Carrey Grinch seems to have become somewhat of a classic. How did they make two films on such opposite ends of the spectrum.
Eh... maybe PotC 1 vs. HM.I’m reminded of Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion films.
I liked them all pretty much until number 5. That’s the first one I didn’t like.Eh... maybe PotC 1 vs. HM.
For the most part, the PotC franchise has been pretty mediocre. Especially On Stranger Tides and Dead Men Tell No Tales.
So with this move of CITH from Illumination to WAG I would think the look of Seuss Landing would remain steeped in the books then. I can't see them doing a Grinch attraction based on the new film and keeping everything else the same. I also can't see them redoing the CITH based on WAG's new film and then have to pay out more fees to Warners.

I meant the first one. It was successful so they adapted another ride and it failed miserably. Same as the Grinch and Cat and the Hat films. Any sequels to Pirates are an unfortunate side effect of the first’s success and are not part of this analogy.Eh... maybe PotC 1 vs. HM.

I agree. Much like Marvel Super Hero Island, to remain timeless, the land should be based on the books themselves. Movies come and go, but the source material is forever.Honestly, there aren't enough Dr. Seuss movies to justify remaking the entire land at IOA due to how expensive it is and would have ruined the guests' experience. Not that it matters anyway, but I don't really see Dr. Seuss Land being reconstructed to match that of the movies. Of course, it would be easier for Universal to build Dr. Seuss Land to match that of the movies they distributed and don't have to share money with anyone, but live actions are harder to sell than animated ones. They might keep the book version the way it is.

Shows and meet and greets, like they have masterfully done with Grinchmas, to tie into a movie is one thing, but no need to tear down the land and start over by any means.I agree, but when a business sees that a new movie is making near a billion in revenue, you step on the gas for synergy while it lasts.
Yes, but Illumination probably couldn't commit to more than 1 Seuss movie every 5 or 6 years at most. I think Seuss Estate wanted a higher level of commitment.
If you add Nintendo and more homegrown IPs to Illumination's schedule, I doubt they'd have slots for another Seuss movie until 2022 or so...
If anything, give CITH a major refresh. Update the animatronics a bit, increase the kinetics of the crazier scenes (they should be overwhelming), and maybe re-record the audio to be from the film without changing the look.
A lot more younger children can ride now though, so while less fun for you and me, it was a good change overall for guest satisfaction.I'd say bring back the overly intense spinning, lol. I always felt like the ride lost a lot of its soul when it was toned down back in 2010.
I think WAG will try.Seuss Cinamatic Universe confirmed?
