Don't underestimate stories for children

For a long time, some adults have a misunderstanding of fairy tales, thinking that fairy tales are for children, and only for children. I think this misunderstanding is due to the various fairy tales that cannot be called fairy tales published by various publishing houses and television stations in China.
I remember the stories I read when I was a child, the gourd baby and the little radish head. They all let us understand some truths through the plot or the fate of the characters. This understanding is the ultimate goal of the story.
So I think the stuff I watched as a kid was really boring.
But now, with the resources to read western fairy tales or stories, I understand that adults also need fairy tales.
I have watched all three of Narnia, and from the story alone, each of them is wonderful. Many people say that there are loopholes in the plot of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader and the scenes are not grand or something. That is from a movie perspective. This should go to the technical director, and there is no reason to blame the story itself. In recent years, whether reading books or watching movies, I have enjoyed the thoughts that the author wants to reveal to you, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, as the story progresses. In modern Western literature, whether it is The Lord of the Rings, the Little Prince or Narnia, the joy that the process brings to you is always more than the growth of life perception.
I liked the mouse; at the beginning I kind of didn't want my little cousin to follow them into Narnia; as the story progressed I was expecting my older siblings to come in too, until Aslan said they were too grown up to come back .
How I wish I could read Peter Pan when I was in elementary school; The Little Prince and Narnia when I was in middle school; Toy Story and Robot Story when I was in high school. Fortunately, I completed my childhood before I graduated from college.

    Eustace Clarence Scrubb: [about Reepicheep] In England, we have mouse traps for that sort of thing. Speaking of food, you don't know where I could get any, do you?

    Tavros: Uh, why are you talking to that bird?

    Eustace Clarence Scrubb: Uh, I just naturally assumed that you can...

    Tavros: [busts out laughing] He's talking to birds!

    Telmarine Sailor: He's mad as a loon, that one!

    Tavros: Yeah!
