I don’t really like the “it’s only a movie” excuse because it lets the
writers off the hook too easily. A better phrasing might be “because it
advances the plot more effectively,” but even that excuse invites all kinds
of inconsistencies.

I’ll try that one next time my kids ask “why” a talking animal in an
animated does something that makes no sense (for us humans, at least).
Like, “How come Dory can’t remember stuff?” (from our trip to “Finding
Nemo”) :-)

I find that children respond very well to the particulars of abstract
literary theory. Then you can move them onto questions about how the
voiceover actor in one film can be a different character in another film.
Oh, the fun to be had!

My favorite question to ask my kids (ages 12 and 7) with regard to animated
movies is, “So, what was Uncle Scar’s name before he got the scar on his face?”
(Disney’s “Lion King”) Usually the older one just rolls her eyes, and the
younger one gives me his best blank stare.
