Heard this once said: Caine played his character as a very straight human, while Tim Curry played his character in Muppet's Treasure Island like he's himself an unhinged muppet. To the credit of both of these actors, it works perfectly in their respective movies.
Someone described respectful ways of interacting with children similarly
you can bring yourself down to their level, or you can bring them up to yours. Both are respectful, and there's no "talking down" to anyone.
Bringing yourself to their level is real neat.
Why would you give the child the curse of ripping them from childhood? Why rob yourself the opportunity to revisit the magic of childhood?
Hand them the Scout action figure, grab the Batman, because Rita Repulsa wants to blow up the sun, and only you two can stop her!
Just want you to know we're all rooting for you!
I'm not! I WANT to blow up the Sun, and I'll be helping Rita!
MWHAHAHAA!!
Just so you know, I have a fragile alliance with the heroes because if the sun blows up I won't be able to take over the Tri-State area!
Now I can’t tell if you’re bringing yourself “down” to their level or bringing them “up” to our dystopian world view.
