This is really strange. The protagonists of this kind of stories are almost all children. They can make friends with all kinds of strange creatures in the movie, and they can see the beauty and wonders of all kinds of nature. In this kind of film, adults are often set up as stupid, stubborn, sophisticated and dangerous, and often appear as negative forces. This is a standard pattern for this type of story. It seems that adults are also not so confident about themselves, or so unreliable, and do not believe that such fairy tales will happen to an adult. Generally, movies that only show adults and strange creatures will be made into thrillers. It seems that nature is very unfriendly to adults.
Of course, this may be the nostalgia and imagination of adult filmmakers for their beautiful childhood!
