Future of Toon Lagoon

I wonder what the cultural relevance of Dr. Seuss is these days (not implying they should replace it at all, just wondering)

Seussical Jr. is one of the most frequently produced shows in America (15th in 2025) and the Grinch is an omnipresent character during the holidays. In 2020, the Seuss estate made $33 million (the second most of any dead celebrity, behind Michael Jackson). And new book, “Sing the 50 States” - a recently discovered manuscript from the ACTUAL Theodor Geisel - is getting released this June. Seuss is still very relevant.

I don't expect you to have the answer so throwing this out there: Do parks that are owned by an IP holder have free access to other department's IPs? Does Disney have to pay some sort of fee for the use of movies properites to the studio, for example? Is it actually "free" to the parks?

This has been answered better already, but yes.

Universal the theme park actually had to get approval from Universal Pictures for all of the Universal Monsters haunts, for example.

Worth nothing that with All the Books You Can Read closing today, Wossamatta U has also been taken off the website.

There are several Suess movies planned over the next few years, including Cat in the Hat this fall. Hopefully that helps Suess Land remain relevant.

The Carey Grinch movie and the original animated TV show will probably keep Seuss Landing relevant for a long time. The other stuff is icing on the cake. Even our grandkids, who are not fans of the non Christmas books, love those films.

Don’t underestimate the Illumination Grinch, it was fantastic as well.

Don’t underestimate the Illumination Grinch, it was fantastic as well.

It was different, but it was decent. It gets a lot of play during the Holiday season, so kids get to see repeat performances.
