In the first World:
Supermarkets sell old B&W content on DVD and it's on streaming and Internet. Also a 55" 4K TV is cheaper than the cinema for a family.
My grandchildren prefer the 1930s & 1950s editions of classic books, not "modernised". The publishers reverted some changes they made on "the Famous Five". They have no difficulty with E. Nesbit either which is a lot more archaic than Famous Five.
I have a lot of early published Kipling, before Puck of Pook Hill. In better condition than some 50 years younger books.
