They haven’t. I saw Short Circuit 2 this year again and it’s really unfortunate how much the appalling racism sullied an otherwise charming film. It was especially dear to me as a kid because there was a Johnny 5 animatronic at my science museum, and it encouraged in me a lot of hope for the future. I miss having that optimism.
I have wanted to rewatch these films, but I’m concerned that they might not have aged very well.
