Just told my kid about it, and his face broke into a huge grin. I guess that's the target audience.

Though, Netflix has generally been pretty good with their animated shows, so won't mind taking a look at what they do with Minecraft myself.

I still cant get over the fact the game I played when I was a teen 15 years ago is such a huge hit among kids now.

It's the video game equivalent of Legos. I think it has staying power in a way few other games have, precisely in the same way that Legos have remained popular toys for generations.

Minecraft is the most popular video game to ever exist in human history and someone thinks that is an easy market to capitalize on.
