[QUOTE="Zaukrie, post: 2097812, member: 2057"] I have to disagree strongly with this: "This thinking is flawed from the beginnig, though - it nearly never works that way. Young kids don't dream about being heroic young kids; they dream about being heroic adults. (Btw, that's the reason why nearly every superhero comic featuring kids failed miserably.)" I have 7 and 9 year old boys. They devour books about kids and small animals as heros, not books about grown ups being heros. If Redwall came out in movie format, I don't think we could avoid seeing it about 1,000,000 times. They were so excited to hear that Mary Pope Osborne was signing books in our area (if you don't know who she is, you don't have kids learning to read chapter books, she writes stories about 2 young kids) that they couldn't even speak when they handed me the sheet from school anouncing the details. As for SW, I've liked TPM more as I've seen it. I think there were too many scenes (don't know what scenes they were) cut out in AotC to make it flow well. I compare it to the movie version of the LotR movies and the director's cuts. Had I never read the books, I would have gotten lost more than a few times in the story movement. (that said, the LotR movies are much better, I don't want to start that arguement here). I've enjoyed the movies, not just watching them, but sharing them with my boys. Part of the experience of SW when I was a kid, was sharing the experience of seeing them in the theater with my friends. Now, I have that experience with my boys (of seeing them at home - my youngest wants desperately to see RotS in the theater, but I'm severely doubting I'll let him). [/QUOTE]
