Maybe they were just trying to correct the original? Although we've all said our bit, the kids of today loved the new one, and we'd all obviously prefer the original as it's what we grew up with.
I don't know what kids prefer, because I don't really walk around asking kids.

For one thing, parents frown on it.

I actually thought being more true to the book would be a plus, but it ended up really not being for me.

That being said, I'm still a bit surprised that it was this unanimous. I mean, really, people generally hope the version they like more will end up being the more popular one, but GOD DAMN.
