Let them miss it. There are just certain songs that shouldn't be remade. Just what the world needs is a lil furry adorable computer who will be talkin like our kids. I'm waiting for the lil furry adorable Ebonicans, who conveniently speak Ebonics. Then I'll really be scared.
Kids have a very active imagination.
I'm gung-ho for advanced technology, but not when it comes to kids toys. The old version kid is picked on becuz mommy and daddy either can't afford the new version or simply don't have the time to get the new version. Kids can be very cruel when it comes to things like that. It doesn't matter how they were raised. They simply just don't know any better.
