On the question of E.T. being revived by freezing, liquid nitrogen,
etc: word has it that Walt Disney was frozen in a similar fashion
after his death.  Can it be that this process also shortened him
to Yoda-height, gave him a flat head and green skin, and made his
internal organs glow in the dark?  So many other parts of the film
were inspired by Disney that I wonder if this was a conscious reference.

PS. Sorry if someone else has brought up this point.  I followed the
early and excellent advice about not reading any of the net stuff on
E.T. (at least not closely; I noticed the questions about his revival)
until I saw the movie (just tonight).
