Universal Orlando, Florida – Thursday, Jun 6, 2013
It’s the classic story; man draws cartoon boy, cartoon boy eats shorts, cartoon town is constructed in a theme park, cowabunga, we all drink Duff, itchy, scratchy, badda boom badda bing. You’ve seen it 1000 times.
It’s always fun to walk around inside a cartoon and be able to interact with the characters, it’s every kid’s dream. Jeeze, it’s the whole allure of this place.
So it was only a matter of time before the Fox / Groening machine merchandised their characters all the way up to Pinocchio status, where the buildings have cut free of their cartoon strings and become “real” brick and mortar edifices.
So far the main online critiques of these pictures is that the Flaming Moe is supposed to be purple, and the Duff energy drinks are a sell out and should be actual beer. (More images HERE)
