How is it UO can be selling merchandise from DC comics, Doctor Who and other non park related IPs but not be selling any DreamWorks merchandise other than Shrek? Is there a licensing problem?

They sell whatever sells. It's like going to Six Flags and being able to buy Disney stuff or Minions. They sell whatever people want.

The store outside of Terminator sells comic/pop culture stuff in general. It's not bound by licensing. Now the stores in MSHI are bound and can only sell Marvel or Universal stuff and the Shrek store they can only sell Shrek and Universal stuff.

We may see more Dreamworks stuff show up, but I don't think it's a priority to have a Dreamworks shop. I think we may see more of that stuff at those kiosks on Citywalk. SOmething like a Trolls kiosk would seem about right.

Thing of note: He brought Lego to WBA. So it will be interesting to see what he brings to DreamWorks.
