Re: Trope vs. Trope

I have more experience with the adult in a child's body being used well and non-creepy than with the child in an adult's body being used well and non-creepy. For instance, the anime Erased has an adult in a child's body who's handled in a way I'd describe as non-creepy overall.

Same here; or, at least, my first experience with the adult-mind, child-body idea was the Ray Bradbury story "Hail and Farewell". The main character is a 40-something who permanently looks 12, and who wanders from town to town to find and get taken in by couples who want but can't have children for a couple years before moving on to the next place. It touches lightly on the horror of it (both of a town where they find out his age, and his own realization of just how limiting and isolating his options are), but the trope is presented as more bittersweet than anything else.

There actually was a woman by the name of Barbora Skrovlá who did the almost exact same thing. The horror movie "Orphan" is vaguely based on this story.

Ayrt: belated reply, thanks for that interesting info! Had no idea Orphan was even (loosely) based on anything.
