"Now, we have juvenalia like Star Wars, Harry Potter, Narnia"

Do you really believe that Ben Hur and The Longest Day was made for the same audience as Harry Potter and Narnia? Are you daft? Or were you a biological oddity having been born as adult, completely skipping childhood? I can see it now; Scene: a lazy day at the Tinear household, slight hint of wood burning (in the fireplace, not the head), a copy of The Communist Manifesto sitting on the coffee table, then, dialog:

Tinear, Jr.: "Daddy, when do we see the wizard?"
Tinear: "Right after the Germans blow out the intestines of the Americans. Now shut up and enjoy this masterpiece. Just look at the way the camera captures the death and destruction."

How about comparing comparing apples with apples. Harry Potter or The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes? I know which one would you pick.
