You have obviously never watched a Disney movie 300 times in a row. Far from taking the thrill away, I'd say it allowed kids to get more in to the movies. My kids would memorize dialog, and put on the movie themselves- restaging it with small humans or stuffed animals. It's a different kind of thrill, I guess- the thrill of mastering a work to the point of memorization, but a thrill nonetheless. My kids still got the thrill of going to the opera, and the ballet, and plays and musicals- so they experienced the ephemeral. But there's not way I'd want to lose movies on demand. It's so cool to have them always there when your schedule permits you time to watch- rather than having to bend your schedule to the whims of the movie theater showings.
