This sort of vague tweeting is extremely obnoxious. I'm not expecting much out of Pixarfest but would love to be proven wrong. Bringing back Paint the Night would clear that threshold, but I'm not confident that's happening.
I mean, if we're going to play this game, nothing is guaranteed, even a Universal Monsters house. This is spec, folks, we all know the rules. Some stuff has more weight than others. You decide what you want to put stock in, but remember nothing's real until it's announced.
I think it's nuts we're considering a year that could have Ghostbusters, A Quiet Place, Classic Monsters, and a modern Blumhouse title or two to be an "off" one without even knowing the overall direction for the event or the originals. I get everyone wanted Five Nights, but even without that...
A reminder that Imaginary is not a Universal release - it's Lionsgate. Universal has of course worked with Lionsgate before and will almost certainly do so again somewhere down the road (if not this year!), but the lack of Universal synergy means they probably don't care about promoting or using...
I really think this is unfair to Viking, who has taken the time to provide several well-reasoned rebuttals to your positions as well as his own perspective. He's also made it clear that he's a fan of the series, so claiming he has no investment isn't really appropriate - and frankly, saying you...
Okay, I don't think anything going on here constitutes gatekeeping. There is a difference in opinion whether an IP that most would not consider outright horror at first glance is a slam dunk pick for Horror Nights. Doesn't mean they wouldn't ever do it or that the event has not leveraged IP that...
Frankly, I think you're looking for any argument that supports your desire to see Zootopia in the stateside parks. It's perfectly fine to want Zootopia over Cars (though I don't think the decision is that binary), but let's not pretend Cars isn't extremely relevant and one of the top properties...
Cars is one of the company's invaluable Walmart brands, meaning there are tons of merchandising options available at your local superstore, no matter where you are in the United States. Lightning McQueen and Mater are now evergreen characters on the level of Mickey Mouse and the Princesses. They...
They waited way too long to communicate that this was an immersive theater/LARP. Everyone got stuck on the "hotel" end of the equation. (You can also legitimately question whether the final product lived up to the expectations of what an official, premium Star Wars immersive/LARP should be.)
