Warner Bros 100th Anniversary Exhibition Review
The exhibition started with a dark room projecting a highlight reel of Warner Bros films and their finest moments. Some iconic scenes included everything from the iconic line, “Here’s Johnny!” from The Shining to, “You’re a wizard Harry,” from Harry Potter and everything in between.
After watching the trailer, the first hall had a replica of the iconic Warner Bros tower. This hall is where you could take a look at the history of the production studio and a timeline of their greatest hits.
After going through the large historical hall came the fun focused on each TV series or film. The main focus was placed on franchises like Batman, Looney Tunes, Harry Potter, Tom and Jerry, and more.
Whilst other popular productions like the horror films Annabelle and It, Scooby Doo, Friends, and characters like the Joker and Harley Quinn were on display, as well.
They set up a lot of picture opportunities in the form of photozones and mostly had props, posters, and mini sets on display.
The exhibit ended with a room projecting the trailer of the magical candy-filled Wonka. We’ve actually been to see the movie ourselves already. If you’d like to know our thoughts on it, check out our 2023 Wonka Film Review article.
Thereafter, upon exiting, you could pick your choice of Warner Bros related memorabilia at the souvenir shop.
Overall, the exhibition took about two or so hours to get through and was a lot of fun, especially if you’ve seen most of the films or TV shows.
