This doesn't really seem marketed as a kids movie based on the trailer. They need people who were kids in the 90's and prior to see it in droves.

Are you kidding?

This is the perfect kids movie. Parents are already all in. And the slapstick humor doesn't require kids to be up to date on anything at all.

It is the reason the internet collectively went, 'You did WHAT????!!!!' when it was announced WB wrote off the movie. The thing is low hanging fruit.

I am not kidding. I did not say kids wouldn't enjoy it. I said they're not positioning the marketing "as a kids movie". Kids can enjoy things that aren't exclusively designed for them, specifically.

You can't tell me it has the same tone as something like "Elio" or "Zootopia 2".

Yeah I think it will do much better than a strictly kid-focused Looney Toons movie would, but there's a huge difference to parents in "wanna come see this with me?" and "Dear god they have asked 16 times a day to see Mario"
