# Gaudy, charmless filth. I don't want it in my house. Little Mole seems to love it and people keep buying it for him. Gah!

# Buy him books with the original drawings in them.
And drill it into him that they're better. It's a parent's responsibility to mould their children.

# He's already got the originals and I try my best....
...but there's something about Disney that he's really attracted to. Especially the books with batteries. Aaaarrrgghhhh!!!!!

# It's the saccharin-coated glossy oversaturated CGI of it all
I'm sure when you was a little mole such things would have appealed to you too. Disney have been around for years and all their cartoons were to a very high standard pumped out by the slave-workforce of artists churning out sickly sweetness to disguise the sickening idealism at the root of it. We look back at Winnie the Pooh in all it's simplicity but as a kid there is no nostaglia there so unfortunately the shiny news things get their attention. Little Mole will grow to love the original books you gave him :D

# This is his favourite book at the moment: The Story of the Little Mole Who Knew it Was None of His Business
We make the poo noises together and he giggles like a loon!
:D

# my daughter loves all the old Hans Christian Anderson stuff
as well as modern guff like Barbie stories.

The HCA stuff is really disturbing if you look too deeply at them. The Little Matchstick Girl is especially dark.

The modern Barbie and some Disney stories are utter, UTTER guff. Totaly made up to fit a product or a film

I'm glad she doesn't like Winnie the Pooh though. It is dreadful!

# I remember reading somewhere
that Dickens had met Hans Christian Anderson and partly based Uriah Heep on him

# Although Disney's version of the Little Match Girl
(I think it's on The Little Mermaid Special Edition DVD) is one of the most tragic bits of film ever - right there with Grave of the Fireflies. Seriously, it'll screw your kids up good and proper.

# hmm, I know what you mean
My lad has Disney Pooh pictures on his wall in frames, but pride of place is an original EH Shepherd Framed line drawing next to his light switch.

# Hold on to your principles!
My boys have never liked NeoPooh. It has never been aloud in my house and no one has been harmed in the process!
