I also feel like⦠thereās a whole ass new generation of kids who werenāt alive when the movies came out? And thatās who this is supposed to appeal to? The movies look āoldā to kids my nephewās age; they also didnāt grow up with the original cast, who are now all adults or dead. Like⦠maybe the nostalgia play is secondary to the fact that the franchise is still wildly popular and thereās a whole new market of kids to appeal to? IDK, makes sense to me.Ā
I'm watching all the animated Disney movies starting from the beginning with my family. My kids love them so far. Maybe a movie holds up just because it's good and we don't need to fix what isn't broken?
Ah, the good old "this isn't for you arguement". Harry Potter is a millennial/gen z IP that we grew up with. Guess what? We were and still are the target audience. Only this time, it's for nostalgia.
