Scott, the first time I took my daughter to Disneyland she was about 2 and she spent the whole week talking about meeting Mickey Mouse. We went to the mouse house in Fantasyland and waited an hour to see Him. She freaked out when we finally got into His office. Crying, hiding, screaming in terror. We left and after she calmed down a bit I asked her why she was so scared. "Daddy," she said, "he was so big." She thought he was going to be 5" tall like on TV, not a six-foot giant rat.
The proportions on the computer screen are not true to life, just like the men inside the tv aren't really tiny men. Or did that just blow your mind?
