Is that really all you got from the characterisations?
Did you miss the whole Russian Doll metaphor for Santa and later on Jack?
Did you miss Jack's comment about how long has it been since the guardians actually just *played* with the kids rather than just be "in charge adults"?
Did you miss Bunny dispite all his bluster still being scared sometimes?
Geez man, we really do see these things far differently.
No, I got all of that. And yes, we do see these things far differently.
Did you? Did it "hurt" you somehow?
It made me cynical and analytical.
Seriously bro, when you say stuff like this it is *painfully* obvious you don't have kids of your own .
True, but I was a kid and I helped raise my sister's kids in a big way (even diaper time). There are plenty more healthy ways to stimulate the imaginations of a shild than telling them fairy tales and then being complicit in their deceit by putting a quarter under your child's pillow and saying a fairy left it there. . I guess this is a cultural practice, You do not find these sort of characters created in other cultures. It is not a fault of parents NOT to tell their children these stories, is it?
You can

I went to their website and saw only themed sets, and a section of "Individual bricks" which shows a few sets. Legos were my favorite toy as a kid, and I could actually have fun with them as an adult.
