The abilities we loose (as Lumooja points out) when we grow up can be regained and amplified. And used correctly it brings alive fantastic movies, books and games. I would say that every great creative mind ignores the degenerative state of mind as many adults tend to choose, and uses the creative force of the child (i.e. curious and limitless) with the power of experience (as you get by getting older). Give in to the child within, but use your adult mind to guide it! I am not alone :)

Such as reciting what the guardian said in ultima7 or reciting all sort of things said in wolfenstein. Regarding movies, movies have a great effect on our minds and shaping society. Its more in a subconcious level, and I think its different than what you ment, but its related. Think of all the commercials you might see on TV or before a movie. Why companies pay a lot of money for air time for commercials? Because those commercials have a great effect on our minds and subconciousness. I don't want to start even talking about what movies and commercials do to our body image, to the way think about money, happiness and how they shape people. Its all related, but I think you have just touched the tip of the ice berg on a subject that is much wider and many times people are unaware of its existance.

A child has abilities which adults often forget or deliberately supress. It's not very professional if an adult has less abilities and freedom than a child. A real power human can do everything.

You do something, or they see something, and immediately they want to do it too! Doesn’t every every baby and young kid do the same?
