I know what you mean (oh and thanks for opening the comments up!!) whilst waiting for some movie I managed to overhear some kids talking about the newly released (at that stage) TMNT film. "Yeah they're mutated turtles and they're named after painters or something..." I was horrified that they didn't know who the ninja turtles were.
Now I also realize that there is a whole generation who think that Michael Bay's Transformers are THE Transformers - it makes me weep for the coming generations.

I feel ancient.
Ugh, and the Transformers make me feel old. The original ones I mean. The toys not the cartoons. Ah well, the world turns.....
