Universal Orlando Faces Questions Over Alleged AI Art in Holiday Decor

Overview

• The scrutiny centers on three new squirrel portraits inside CityWalk’s Green & Red Coconut Club during the 2025 holiday overlay.
• X user van_more_ first flagged visual traits associated with AI-generated imagery in the displayed portraits.
• Theme-park reporter AliciaStella then found two near-identical squirrel images being sold as porch flags on Temu.
• Universal Orlando has not issued a statement on the artwork’s origin, and the portraits remain on display.
• Outlets note the pieces could have been vendor-sourced, and no definitive proof confirms AI generation by Universal.
