And an even greater social gap than what we now have.

Also, not sure about your kids, but mine are more interested in Fortnite
(boys) and Instagram (girls) than The Lion King.

I think the appeal of nostalgia by Disney and the rest of the Hollywood
establishment is likely to, I suspect, resonate more with the older
generation. I'm not sure our kids will enjoy the Mickey Mouse series as
much as we did.

For this younger generation, new, original content probably stands a
better chance. Time will tell.
