I've held that idea for a while as well... mostly because I worry that Ian Holm will not return as Bilbo. But if the movie began this way, we would be seeing the story through the children's imagination and, since they did not know Mr. Bilbo in his younger years, it would not be problematic that he appear different then he did in LotR.

Are we saying that JRRT was beyond the powers of every other individual who lived in that regard?
With regard to his own creation, yes.
