Is nothing sacred, not even worms?

I just heard that there was a movie coming out based on a favorite childhood book "How to Eat Fried Worms."

Most that I've read about it is that it is nothing like the book, save for the kid's name and some worms.

What were your favorite kid's movies based on childhood books? What movies disappointed you?

In some ways I think kids today miss so much because of sophistication in technology and exposure to much more at a younger age.

If the old Charlie Brown specials had never been made until this day, would we have missed the innocence, the sweet humor, the caring lessons? If Winnie the Pooh and Tigger and Eeyore made their screen debuts as 3 dimensional computer-enhanced figures, would something be lost in the translation?

What are your opinions? Am I just an old fogey, or has our whimsy gone?
