@willicreate Oh that is a good point for Terabithia and could be the case. My thought was more along the lines of the story dealing with death. Things do go in cycles, so now I do wonder if there isn't much of a place for imagination right now. Like how Sputnik put an end to Woody's Round Up lol.
Also a good point with kids having different interests. I've heard it brought up a couple times that there may not be another big mainstream thing that seemingly everyone will be into. With access to the internet and the ability to find your own special interest communities it will be difficult for an across the board hit. I don't think that's a bad thing.
Who hasn't been sucked into a good creepypasta here and there lol
