Statement from Dr. Seuss Enterprises and Universal Studio’s Response

Hi Insiders! If you haven’t heard yet today, Dr. Seuss Enterprises will no longer be publishing a few Dr. Seuss books due to offensive images within the books.

Here is the official statement from Dr. Seuss Enterprises:

Today, on Dr. Seuss’s Birthday, Dr. Seuss Enterprises celebrates reading and also our mission of supporting all children and families with messages of hope, inspiration, inclusion, and friendship.

We are committed to action.  To that end, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, working with a panel of experts, including educators, reviewed our catalog of titles and made the decision last year to cease publication and licensing of the following titles:  And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, If I Ran the Zoo,McElligot’s Pool, On Beyond Zebra!, Scrambled Eggs Super!, and The Cat’s Quizzer.  These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.

Ceasing sales of these books is only part of our commitment and our broader plan to ensure Dr. Seuss Enterprises’s catalog represents and supports all communities and families.

Universal Studios Island’s of Adventure has a play-area, Seuss’s Landing, themed after one of the books that are no longer going to be published (“If I Ran the Zoo”), so naturally we’re all wondering if and how that will affect the play area at the theme park.

Ashley Carter, from Spectrum News 13, reached out to Universal Studios Orlando directly to find out:

Seuss Landing in Universal's Islands of Adventure features a play area themed after If I Ran the Zoo, one of the Dr. Seuss books that will no longer be published. I reached out to Universal Orlando about whether that decision would impact this area. Universal sent this statement: pic.twitter.com/unzNHgUuwE

As seen in the Twitter post above, Universal’s response reads:

Seuss Landing continues to be very popular with our guests and we value our relationship with Seuss Enterprises. We’ve removed the books from our shelves as they have asked and we’ll be evaluating our in-park experience too. But our guests can plan on continuing to be able to enjoy their favorite experiences at Seuss Landing.

From Universal Orland’s response, we would not be surprised to see the popular gift-shop, Mulberry Street, along with the popular children’s play area re-themed in the near future.

Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans Long ago, in the fantasy world of Kumandra, humans and dragons lived together in harmony. 500 years later, those same monsters returned and lone warrior, Raya, tracked down the last dragon 🐉 in order to finally stop the Druun for good.

✨Raya has inspired kids of all ages and is back for meet and greets during the Lunar New Year Festival! You can find her at Redwood Creek Challenge at Disney California Adventure, now through Feb 15. 

On your way to meet Raya, you will be awestruck with wonder and delight as you walk through a grove of colorful Chinese lanterns 🏮 that light the pathway to the princess herself!

🤟🏼🎸🎤 Rock the Universe 🎤🎸🤟🏼 We got a chance to check out Florida’s biggest Christian music festival right here at @universalorlando last night. This two day event requires special tickets starting at $79.99 to enjoy 1-park from 4:00pm - 1:00am on one of the two nights. To enjoy both nights tickets start at $119.99 and go up to $135.99 for 2-park or 3-park privileges. The event is filled with faith & fun showcasing Christian music’s biggest stars on the Music Plaza Stage & in the Coca-Cola FanZone as well as exclusive merchandise and autograph sessions. Select attractions and dining outlets are open all evening. For the 1-park one night ticket I had, the following attractions were open: Revenge of The Mummy, TRANSFORMERS: The Ride-3D, Despicable Me Minion Mayhem and Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. We also had to take advantage of the lighter crowd in Finnegan’s for a quick dinner ☘️ The event is typically Friday & Saturday with a Sunday Morning Worship Service (admission is included with any RTU ticket, but this was at capacity). It’s also important to note that Express Passes are available with these tickets starting at $24.99 and going up to $34.99 for unlimited. The majority of the crowd is made up with youth groups from around the country, but they are with young pastors and their families. If you are interested in attending in 2024 the dates are January 26th & January 27th 📆 This was their 25th year! Have you ever been to this event?
