Yes, Disney does need to appeal to the younger audience to create a budding field of future consumers, but is Gen Z the right target? Disney might be right in trying to recapture the male audience, but Gen Z might not be the only group they need to appease. Disney doesn't need new IP, but rather a way to revamp already existing entities under its umbrella. These were stylish, heartfelt adventure films that certainly had much more of a male audience in mind. Bring back The Black Cauldron, Aladdin, Atlantis, or anything else where the male audience can identify with the protagonist, root for them, and see the forces of good triumph over evil.
