I wonder how much money Universal saves from licensing Shrek and Madagascar now..
Didn't even think of that.. you are absolutely right! i would love to see this implemented at the parks.This gives them a great opportunity to roll out an awesome new parade, a couple of new stage shows, and a plethora of new meet and greets.
Some of that could probably help when KidZone goes down.

Disney's parks (at least MK and DHS) are built much better for parades though. Hopefully they design Park 3 to be able to run a legit parade.Honestly, this gives them a chance to finally try and do those things right.
Disney destroys at parades (and parade logistics). Part of that is because they have better parade routes built in to the parks, but still. They destroy at shows - look at Nemo, which is basically a short Broadway show. And I think Disney does M&Gs way better too. Universal doesn't seem to allow their characters to interact much. I tried meeting Scooby + the gang, and it was basically take a picture and get out. No real socialization.
The more I hear these things about park 3 the more excited I get. I stayed at The Castle boutique hotel by Marriott and my room had a clear view of what I think is part of the new land Universal acquired its a very nice area with already surprisingly large roads with minimal trafficDisney's parks (at least MK and DHS) are built much better for parades though.

Explaining how the deal will boost animated output, Cavanagh said Universal and DWA will each continue to make about two animated movies a year, with each releasing one new film and one sequel. He added: "The characteristics of an animated film, profit-wise and risk-wise, volatility[-wise], is much better for animation than Iive-action movies. So we have long wanted to tilt the business more in the direction of animated films at the margin."
The 2018 movies are also being distributed by them, no?Shrek 5 and Shadows will be the first official films produced and distributed by Universal under the deal in 2019.
