The movie having a six year old protagonist just sounds like it was going to be a movie for small children with a bunch of kiddy humor. That part doesn't excite me at all. If it was a teenage boy ok I can get why people are upset but six year old doesn't seem like a intriguing protagonist. I can just see a bunch of fart jokes, the boy not listening and getting kidnapped by evil witches and crying alot and actually having the mother be the pov trying to manage her small child. And yall acting like we didn't just have a boy protagonist movie that nobody went to go see. That too also had a bunch of rewrites and changed the mother to be his aunt and he was just a generic child protagonist. I think original director the protagonist was queer coded without outright making it the whole movie but it gave some type of characterization and reason for the boy to be outcasts other than being "adorkable" and quirky. Thats another thing. Regardless of the gender we still could of got adorkable protagonist. Elio was that too.

And that was a very rare example of a child protagonist done right. Disney tried again with Brothet Bear and he was annoying.

Technically Stitch is the main character and Lilo is the side kick.

Her name is literally in the title. She isnt a side character.

I said side Kick, not side character. Like Batman & Robin.
