Okay, so someone opened this thread on a tangential subject, and I am the 
sole contributor in a short howto on remakes. The neat way to do it would be 
to beep the slide changes, so that anyone caught imagining what the reader 
is saying...sees changes in illustration. Then, to do it very 
professionally, get a live orchestra, so that choosing pieces for timing 
with the slides and the total length of presentation is child's play. To me 
it would not be anything like that. Some disc jockeys at the CBC might be 
able to do a good job.

The crude way to do it would be just to turn the radio onto a classical 
station on your left, while the TV's balance is way over on the right --  
forget about any correlation between music and story. Do not be surprised or 
upset if children fall asleep and make up their own version of the story. I 
*like* this crude way. The professor's theme song might actually be a good 
way to wake kids up. "Lohruh, Regruntled", has about the same beat as that 
theme song.

The elaborate way to do it would be to get artists to animate things 
throughout, and that would probably end up in a complete remake -- total 
other animal that does not demand imajination.
