If that’s the 2026 graduations, that kid was born almost 15 years after that movie came out.

It would be like me dressing up as Dr. Zaius for my 2000 graduation.

I'm 22 and the Mask is fairly popular with my generation due to us watching it on television growing up.

The mask is a classic.

I don’t doubt it. I grew up on a lot of stuff before my time as well. Jason and the Argonauts was one of my favorites. Me and my brother would laugh ourselves silly at how the stop-motion skeletons ran.
