I certainly cannot remember ever seeing the opposite - that Christopher or any other member of the Estate was thankful for the films, was thankful for the additional revenue they produced for them, or at the least had even enjoyed them.

I've never seen any adverse comments by any family member re the movies - apart from the usual unsubstantiated hearsay - what have you seen? I don't see why Christopher or any other family member should have to express approval - or say anything about anything at all. They aren't public figures. Maybe some of them saw the movies & really enjoyed them - but they aren't film critics either. I'm not being antagonistic here, but why would they feel any need to comment? They have used the profits to support good causes - & they don't discuss those either.
