You’re right! Although, I have already heard the news. Hooray!
Thanks for sharing anyway!
I was gonna say, people were parodying and mimicing those movies then in the 80s and 90s.
Animaniacs alone had parodies of all that. Muppet babies too.
Just using Letterboxd decade filters gives a pretty good snapshot of the great cinema from each decade.
That's a fun feature. Thanks for posting it!
And before then would have been movies like The Searchers, and before that, stuff like It's a Wonderful life. The golden age of cinema was loooong before the 90's. Heh.
