Oh that will happen eventually. It's only a matter of time because there is too much money to be made. They kind of already did it with The Force Awakens. I know I'm cynical, but it's not cynicism alone that says that. Every single franchise save for Back to the Future, has had either a reboot, a lackluster sequel released 10 plus years (or several decades after the fact) or has had revision after revision done to it, whether it's a special edition or directors cut. The original films will eventually get remade. It's not so much a question of if, but when.
I tend to forget (likely because I'm pushing 40 lol) that even ten years to a kid is like another lifetime. I guess even as a kid though I had more patience/ interest in movies from any era as long as I could get invested in the story/ characters.
As if I wasn't enough out of touch with what kids liked these days as far as entertainment, but I suspect that they don't have that same sense of ownership over their favorite things that we did as kids. The sheer quantity of content is so vast that in some ways it would be hard to get too attached to one thing when there is so much available to them at the touch of a button.
When I was growing up there wasn't nearly the same amount of movies that appealed to kids the way there is now. I've touched on this before in other posts but being part of the VHS generation when we could own the very movies we held near and dear it was a shift in popular culture unlike any before it and since. With streaming and the move away from physical media, I suspect kids don't feel the need to own movies the way we did as kids. To my mind it would be why toy aisles don't have the same appeal as they did back then. Digital content is more appealing to them than having an action figure because to them it's more dynamic than a piece of plastic.
