At the celebration, Fox Filmed Entertainment chair Jim Gianopulos' said the reasoning for the mural was simple.

"If you look around the lot, there’s Star Wars, The Simpsons, The Sound of Music, all classic properties that have defined the studio’s history,” said Gianopulos. “This is another iconic film with a singular and enduring legacy."
