Bring it on: In it to win it...

So i was just watching this on ABC Family... (and before I go on, incase you weren't aware, the entire movie was filmed at Universal Orlando. IOA, Universal Studios, Citywalk & all three hotels) and noticed that in all the final cheer competition scenes on Citywalk, the Universal Studios logos in the background were blurred out...

Now I want to think that the obvious reason was that ABC Family is a Disney owned station, and they don't want to advertise for the competition... however, upon re-watching the immediate replay just now (They played it twice in a row) I'm seeing the exact same Universal logo, not-blurred, earlier in the movie. I'm also 99% positive that in the commercials ABC family has been airing all week, during clips from the final scenes, the same logos that were just blurred weren't blurred at all.

They also refered to Dueling Dragons as Double Dragons... I wondered if that was in the original DVD, or a dub-over... I've never seen it on DVD, so I can't make a comparison here...

So does anyone have any clue why that was? Was it Disney's doing? Is it blurred in the DVD version? Anyone have any information at all?

I'm just curious. Hehe...

All that aside however, mediocre striaght to DVD sequal made awesome by its location. For all us Orlando nuts (which is pretty much anyone who posts on this board) it's awesome to watch an entire 2 hour movie unfold in such memorable Universal locales.

I haven't seen the show you're talking about but it sounds kinda fun.

I was there when they were filiming in May of 2007.

there were "Hot Set" signs and cheerleaders everywhere - when we were outside taking a peek, one of the lead girls (the not snobby one) passed by my 12 year old who was drinking a Starbucks decafe caramel frappicino and looked at her and said "wow - you are such a lucky girl.....wish I could have those right now" saw all of the main characters all over the place.

Anyway, I also thought they blurred out the logo because it was a Disney owned station maybe that way at the end because there was so much time spent with the banner in the background? I am surprised they didn't blur out the shot of the globe during that time period as well

oh....and on the DVD they refer to it as Double Dragons as well....my kids (who are 12, 8 & 6) were like "That is DUELING Dragons, not DOUBLE Dragons!!!" I had to explain that they may have had to change the name for the movie. They also wanted to know when the Hard Rock Hotel got rooms with balconies They know the resort and parks too well
