A great deal of the younger people I know have abandoned US entertainment that favors what you outline.
Instead seeking out Japanese entertainment that places great respect for parent's abilities within the storytelling.
At some point the young become physically stronger and quicker than their parent's; the parent's longer time to acquire wisdom is still respected.
I liked it the "Japanese" way myself.
The dumb parents in cartoons frustrated me.
Admittedly I had a dad that I looked up to.
