| (...) 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 (...) (23 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) 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! Dave! (23 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) 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") :-) James (23 years ago, 30-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| To my knowledge all we've seen is the EMP used in the first movie. There was also the laser thing that Tank used on Cypher, but I don't know if that sort of thing could be mounted on the exterior of the ship. I don't own the first movie, so I might (...)
