Star Wars vs. the Black Stallion, or, observation of a 9 year old

We took our son to the local cineplex to see the latest epic from George Lucas yesterday. Whenever I glanced at him during the film, he had the same eyes glazed over look he gets when playing Nintendo-certainly appropriate given the CGI nature of the film. I was shopping at Fry's last week, and they had a display of DVD's near the checkout counter-one was the Black Stallion for 9.99. This has always been a favorite of mine, so I picked it up. We watched it together last night, and it was fascinating to observe his reaction to the fine performance of the child actor Kelly Reno-he smiled at the bonding of the boy with the horse, winced in fear at the shipwreck that strands them on the island, etc. He asked to watch it again on Sunday- a request that was not made of Attack of the Clones.

Sometimes they're a lot smarter than we give them credit for...
