Today Dr. Seuss Enterprises announced that they will stop publishing and licensing six Dr. Seuss books because they “portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.” Universal Orlando Resort is now evaluating the use of these six books in the Seuss Landing area of Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
Seuss Landing includes a play area inspired by “If I Ran the Zoo”, which is one of the books being discontinued. The book has received criticism for its portrayal of Asian people, though none of this imagery is in the play area of Seuss Landing. Another discontinued book, “And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street” inspires both the Mulberry Street Store and some of The High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride!
In a statement to Spectrum News, a Universal spokesperson said, “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.”

Please stop with the fake outrage, cancel culture bs.
The title of this article is very Salacious. You’ve made it sound like they are evaluating if the land is in jeopardy….
You can’t really list 6 attractions in a title.
Cancel culture at its worst.
I’m canceling Disney until they stop with the woke bs. Everyone i know feels the same. “Get woke go broke”!
WOW, this page has LOTS of censorship on it also. Ive had 2 comments not be allowed to post and they were pretty bland comments.
I doubt it.
