Yeah, but they pay for their kids to watch. Similar to how adults will happily pay to send their kids to summer camp: it's mindless daycare and the adults get to switch off for a while.
Ahh I see. You're the type of person to pull out their phone in the theater. ๐

The best pieces of children's cinema are always those with good writing that can simultaneously entertain and respect both the children and the adults in the teather. Everything else is rightfully forgotten as dumb slop. Pandering to little children humor is always a sure way for IPs to die in obscurity.
I agree, but Hollywood doesn't want to grow an IP, it wants fast quick money now, and if peddling fart jokes is all it takes to separate overwhelmed parents from their cash, then they'll do it
