Europe-Park is gearing up for its inaugural debut
Europa-Park in Rust, Germany, is celebrating a significant milestone this year - its 50th anniversary. To mark the occasion, the amusement park has planned a grand premiere for its visitors, featuring the popular figures Ed and Edda in the big-screen adaptation of the figures, titled "Grand Prix of Europe."
The film, produced by Michael Mack and his company Mack Media, with authors from the USA and the UK, has been eagerly anticipated by fans since its announcement. However, the reception to the film has been mixed, with some fans expressing nostalgic criticism over the updated designs of Ed and Edda, while others have shown a more accepting attitude towards the changes.
The new designs have sparked debate among fans who grew up with the older versions, with some commenting that the new look is less appealing and a departure from the beloved original designs. Yet, others have noted that getting used to new character looks takes time.
"Grand Prix of Europe" follows Ed and Edda racing through Europe, a story that some critics have compared unfavourably to films like "Cars." Despite the criticism, fans of Ed and Edda are still joyful about the premiere. The event, designed for guests of all ages to enjoy, was attended by several celebrities, including Michael Mack, Miriam Mack, Alexandra Neldel, Steven Gätjen, and Angelina Pannek.
The production of the film took four years and involved more than 70 people in the main production phase. The film's premiere marks a real premiere for Europa-Park and its characters Ed and Edda, who have been welcoming guests to the park since 2011.
The film's premiere in cinemas took place on July 24, while the anniversary of Europa-Park was marked on July 12, 1975, when it first opened its gates to visitors. Europa-Park has planned a lot for its visitors to be a part of the celebrations, making this a never-before-seen premiere for the park and its characters.
Overall, the reception at Europa-Park for "Grand Prix of Europe" and its characters is characterized by both enthusiasm for the park's milestone and some resistance to the new character interpretations introduced in the film. While the film may not meet international animation standards, it is clear that the film and its characters have captured the hearts of many fans, making it a significant part of Europa-Park's 50th anniversary celebrations.
Consumers eagerly anticipated the big-screen adaptation of their beloved characters, Ed and Edda, in the movie "Grand Prix of Europe."
