Actually, that is why I feel TPM sort of works as its own slef-contained children's fantasy film. It doesn't take itself seriously, its quite fun and light, and it has its own story thats resolved by the end. Its a very imaginative film that has a very genuine conviction in its own vision. Now of course its kiddie, of course some of the writing and characterisation could be much better--but thinking of it as just a children's film, something designed for kids between the ages of 5 and 14, that doesn't matter so much. And the kid-friendliness of the film is an asset, not a flaw. I've always felt that TPM was terrible as a Star Wars film but actually pretty entertaining as just a kids movie that you shouldn't expect much from.
