We are awash with remakes of childhood favourites, many of which are coming out more than two decades after the original. Who is this for? Adults who grew up with the franchise and enjoy the predictability? Children who watched the original two days ago and fancy seeing it again?

Touching on trends within Disney itself and wider Hollywood, the Spectacles team take a wide look at our relationship with nostalgia and with our childhoods. Are we infantilising ourselves? Are we collectively regressing in a time of crisis? Who could blame us... Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
