Yeah, a world based on a child's perception through cartoons would be just riddled with cooties, cartoon-ish insanity, and physics-defying issues. Also silly juice just sounds terrible. (Pink elephant hallucinations included.)

I imagine if I re-worked Billy's Wish into more of a horror-based story, it'd come out like that Twilight Zone episode ("It's a Good Life") where a boy has god-like powers and tortures a town using them. (Turning a man into a living Jack-in-the-box)
