Fans are angry at the success of the box office at Lilo & Stitch at work

During the weekend memorial, “Lilo & Stitch” achieved about 150 million dollarsDespite existence Totally average movie (And if it is with a change of an offensive plot, doubtful of the original). On the proper vacation, it was the fourth largest box office on Monday, ever, bypassing films such as “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and “Avengers: Endgame”. It is not surprising because A) It is a movie that has the benefit of being an IP that can be recognized. So Cute and marketing Mickey Mouse is competing for popularity at the international levelC) He had zero competition in the scene of the arid media of the younger masses. The cartoon network is canceledThe Class G died completely, and entertainment has been reformulated for all wages to mean “four quadruple films”, and the result is to entertain children now in a state of cultural malnutrition.

Certainly there are options worthy of broadcasting, but one time fees to go to movies are sometimes more expensive for the family more than continuous monthly fees for broadcasting service. This means that for parents who want to enhance the love of cinema and instill a passion for going to films with their young, the child’s friend’s options are really limited. As a result, when there is He is A true friend of the family comes out to watch it in theaters, mothers, children and children in large numbers, and the films stimulate an exciting amount of money at the box office, and studios are stimulated (most of them from Disney, if we are honest here) to continue the course.

Of course, the cultural enrichment that goes beyond multiple matters – museums, libraries, parks, gardens, etc. – but the deprivation of weapons, because some people are currently suggesting as a way to punish Disney in making more original films, and moral bankruptcy, because they require children to bear consequences of capitalism and conservative studios program. The expectation that parents will give that the only family film available is similar to protest and more like a form of abstaining from punishment that punishes children for the failure of the deliberate structural motifs that this industry has set. “Voting with your dollar” only works when there is another option.

In the capitalist society (which we have to withstand), the studios of the healthy competitive market forces, plays, and networks to reach the quality level to attract customers through their competitors. However, when the market is monopolized and there is no direct competition, there is no motive for the studio to maintain the high quality level. Before “Lilo & Stitch”, the theatrical films of the young fans that were released in 2025 were “Dogman”, which struck the theaters in January, “Snow White” in March, “Minecraft” at the beginning of April, and “The Legend of Ochi” in the middle of April (the last one, with a much smaller marketing campaign.

But let’s be honest: the issue is not that children consume the media that does not represent an intellectual challenge – we everyone Our fair share of unwanted programming has been overcome as children – but today’s youth are homogeneous and inspiring media with a few various stories and importance to compensate the slope. Children are one of the most marginalized and weak groups in society, and the general feeling of contempt for children is explicit and systematic, and this reflects in nullifying the entertainment industry to determine the priorities of innovative integrity in the media for children and the lack of the American legal system for protection.

The 1990 TV Law imposed that there will be a protected spot in the broadcast of “basic programming” about 30 minutes that the media requires “specifically designed to meet educational and media needs for 16 -year -old children or less, including intellectual/cognitive or social/emotional needs of the child.” This invitation inspired the creation of offers like “The Magic Schoolbus” and “Bill Nye The Science Guy”, but until then, many broadcast networks like hell against the requirements fought. The regulations were renewed in 1996, when the Federal Communications Committee (Federal Communications Committee) ordered all commercial television stations to broadcast at least three hours of basic educational programming per week, which was set regularly between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm but in 2019, the Federal Communications Committee under Trump’s management decided to do so “Provide greater flexibility” Through this list to accommodate the popularity of broadcasting services, it overlooks the fact that everyone cannot buy a multiple service – or even one – with access to children’s educational media. In the pre -reporting era, a family with financial distress can applies to one time to pay for a and aerobic TV, and then receive a large broadcast of free networks for free. The analog signals were officially cut in 2009, when the world moved to digital.

By assuming that the broadcast was the death of television broadcasting, the level of responsibility decreased from broadcasters … Then the Covid-19 pandemic occurred, and a full generation of training years spent children surrounded by screens with lower requirements for accountability in the young quality media.

While the MPA classification system is In the best case, completely beneficial in the worst caseThe number of films released theatrical with the G (for public audiences) is almost not present. In 1968, 181 films were released with GV, but in 2024, 181, but in 2024, only five The films were given the G.And two documentary films. (Grant, what constitutes the GTC again is a great difference from what we have today Thanks to the appearance of PG-13))

The vast majority of small fans films are granted a PG classification, and the average father has no problem in bringing their children to a movie such as “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” and “Moana 2” or “Kung Fu Panda 4” as a film of the PG-13 classification, but the PG rating has become the new criteria for “Kung” films. This means that we are all shown to the concept of All-EGE or “Family”. Even an exception like “Wicked: Part One”, which got a PG rating, is not perfectly proportional to the template because it features a two-hour and 40-minute-time operating time-very long for most youngsters to sit.

Parents are stuck between a rock and a difficult place; The studios do not send their best in terms of entertainment for children because they do not have to do so, and programming standards on the TV screen are not present-to the extent that when the FBC has argued to decrease the restrictions of the children’s TV law in 2019 for commercial broadcasters, Specify specifically a TV program As a major source of educational television to justify corrosion.

The badgers in “Lilo & Stitch” are not parents trying to bring joy to their children. They are the executives obsessed with profit, confirmation studios, and legislative spaces who completely abandoned their cultural responsibility to provide good content for children. It is not surprising that two of the most popular and popular characters to program children, Mrs. Rachel and “Bluey” are both programs that were produced outside the entertainment machine for companies. Blame the parents to “perpetuate the cycle” is comfortable and puts responsibility on individual consumers instead of focusing on the right goal: an ecosystem for the media designed to give scraps, knowing that the audience will take it because otherwise, we will work on hunger.
