I'm worried about this for obvious reasons, but I'll be damned if the trailer, and the director's breakdown of said trailer, don't make me a bit optimistic. The fact that the director is Reitman's son is also a good sign. Again, I'm worried because I know how Hollyweird likes to shit up old franchises, but I'm cautiously optimistic. Anyone else have hopes or concerns?

"Generally" I don't cross 1999. Of course, there are good things made well into the 2000's, but they make smaller and smaller percentage of each year's collective output.
The only post 2014 movie I've enjoyed is Zootopia, and that's because while its surface-level story is a typical lefty wet dream, the more attention you pay to the worldbuilding, the more hopelessly detached from reality that lefty wet dream is. I don't know if this is intentional on the part of someone in deep cover in the writer's room, or if my enjoyment of the movie is fully ironic.
I can understand. What is funny now that I’m 40 is that shows my parents or grandparents would watch that I thought were corny like the Walton’s, little house on the prairie, or Leave It to Beaver are shows I watch a lot now. So nice to see a show where the traditional family isn’t denigrated.
Zootopia is only half lefty wet dream. After all, Judy's whole story is learning not to judge a group of people by the actions of their ancestors. That's a lesson feminists and BLM could use.
