    Kids may well love b&w, silents

    Try to get a kid to watch a silent movie outside a theatre.

    Try to get a kid to watch black and white. Anywhere.

    It took me ten years to understand why my parents liked Bullwinkle more that I did.

    If you show a kid a movie with pre-Star Wars FX, they will laugh at it.

    Nope, nope, and nope. We have four grandchildren and a dozen god-children, aged 4 through 12, and none of them freaks at black-and-white, or silent, or crummy SFX.
