Let's see how that pretty demonstration looks out in the daylight, instead of a darkened studio.

As much fun as that looks, I would never give it to a kid. I want their imaginations to develop on their own, from the printed word. Once you see an animated visual, that's the image that becomes superimposed in your mind whenever you think of the literary work. For example, the first screen version I ever saw of "Pride and Prejudice" was on TV as a kid, so for me forever Laurence Olivier is Mr. Darcy and Greer Garson is Elizabeth and Edna May Oliver is Darcy's aunt, no matter how many other versions I've seen. It's completely superseded my original mental image of the characters.
