    Different time. Air bud came out in 97. This was well before “woke” was a thing conservatives thought they were afraid of. 9/11 didn’t happen yet. America was a very different place and America loved Disney. This would have been watched by a lot of gen x, both on the early end as parents, and on the late end as children. Millennials have seen it for sure, myself being one of them. I think the odds are pretty high that someone would catch on sooner rather than later.

      Gen X was born before around 82, I think, so they were probably a bit old for Air Bud to be a childhood movie in 97. Definitely the older ones might have watched it with their kids, though.

        That’s more so what I was meaning, my father’s gen x from the early side and watched it with us as kids, including my older brother who’s on the tail end of gen x. I guess it really does come down to proximity to millenials
