This makes sense as an adult, but as a child (the target audience) I'd never have had any interest in a movie where it's the adults who do something. I just wanted to imagine myself as the hero.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah. That's why is a KID's movie, is focused for them first, like almost all the Disney's movies are.

Ditto. If I'd seen this movie as a kid, I totally would've imagined myself as Mirabel the same way I imagined I was Mulan when I first saw that movie. As an adult, I do think it would've been neat for one of the adults to have tried to solve the family's problem, but kid me definitely wouldn't have been as interested.

Huh, people do/did this as a kid? I always just enjoyed the story.

Yeah, a lot of kids only really like stories where the protagonist is another kid or teen, so they can insert themselves as the hero, or identify with them. And then fight over which young characters they get to play pretend as with their friends after.

But I feel like a lot of kids are/were like you in just liking stories without the main characters having to be young. But the entertainment industry will always choose to make media for the first group of kids when making something for them.

I was a different kind of kid than those two groups, in that while the kids movies I watched could occasionally be live action, I liked to watch cartoons exclusively when it came to TV shows. The protagonists could be any age, I just wanted it to be animated.

Honestly sometimes I still do this as an adult.

It's one of those genre conventions. Protagonists are usually just a *little* older than their target demographic so you get 13 year olds saving the world because when you're 9 years old middle schoolers seem so grown up.

But yeah, a movie about a girl living in a magical house with a magical family while her mother and father confronts her grandmother about her treatment sounds... pretty boring. Like, it could be a good movie but it wouldn't be a kids movie.
