“When I look at these big, spectacular films — I’m looking at you, Marvel and DC — it doesn’t matter how old the characters are, they all act like they’re in college. They have relationships, but they really don’t. They never hang up their spurs because of their kids. The things that really ground us and give us power, love, and a purpose? Those characters don’t experience it, and I think that’s not the way to make movies.”

I can't imagine current Disney doing something like "Old Yeller" in present times and marketing that as family friendly. (also it took me forever to figure out the name of that movie in English, never knew that's what people were referring to when I saw the name in the past).
