{{Analysis}}{{trope}}
In more fantastic shows, the metaphor may be even more blatant. The supposedly inevitable loss of their adaptability, or belief in magic, can mean even the most bright-eyed [[Kid Hero]] can become just like all the other generic adults just by reaching a particular birthday. Most of these former protagonists will end up just like the parents they were so determined not to grow into. [[Truth in Television]], perhaps, but a bit heavy for a cartoon.
Attitudes towards this vary. Some see it as a rich source of [[Character Development]], and allowing more scope for [[Story Arc
It might be said that actually this [[Trope]] is not directed at kids at all, but instead to and from adults, a wistful longing for the ideal of childhood as seen most clearly in movies like ''Big'' and ''[[Freaky Friday]]''.
