My nine year old is like that. I showed her Ghostbusters for the first time and she kept complaining it looked, "fake." I eventually got so annoyed that I just told her she could spend the rest of the afternoon in her room or keep her mouth shut and watch the movie.

What rubs me about the whole thing is that she thinks movies with intense CGI looks more realistic than the matte or stop motion animation of the old movies. In other words, Spy Kids is more convincing to her than Ghostbusters.  ::)

But then again, the same kid watches Tremors and freaks out at night.  :dunno

Lol, yeah I watched Ghostbusters with my 7 year old and he noticed some fake ghosts too.

In retrospect I'm even more glad that I watched the 2004 digitally remastered versions of Star Wars with him. Indeed the (by today's standards) lame effects in the original version would sure have ticked him off too. It probably made more sense for him to see Hayden Christensen pop up in there instead of some unkown other actor who looked nothing like "Anakin". He doesn't have some sentimental attachment to the original version either. Neither do I for that matter. Although I had preferred not to see "Jar Jar Binks" walk through a scene.

If you live in the Uk I have all three (South Korean versions (in english) going into a skip or the oxfam shop.  You can have them if interested, and yes they are the original original ones.  Return of the Jedi is still shrink wrapped.
