Children of their age (10 to 13) think everything that they watched in their childhood is automatically 'babyish'. As soon as they pass the age of 15, they start getting nostalgic and see the value in LBT.
Exactly.
Two and a half years ago, I was in a really depressed point in my life, but LBT gave me a little slice of pure nostalgia heaven that I feel really helped me.
Well, I've since fallen back into my depression, and am now seeing the LBT sequels for their babyish qualities. It's not that they're bad, but yes, they are meant for little kids. If I hadn't grown up with them, I might not even think twice about them.
I also have a thing for nitpicking and overwatching, to the point where gotten to over-analyzing the original movie and know it nearly by heart, so it's rather unfun to watch.
So I'm going to take an extended break from LBT, I'm not sure how long. I think I need to grow up a little mentally before I can even consider watching anything LBT. But when I do end up watching it again, it will be really worth it.
Still, thanks to rediscovering the movies, I found you guys.
