Where the Wild Things Are

[blackeneddove]

I thought there would already be a thread about this, but I searched and I guess not..

Anyways, is anyone as stoked about this movie as I am?! I first saw the trailer when I went to see Harry Potter this summer and when the trailer for Where the Wild Things Are came on my Harry Potter excitement disappeared for a few minutes. Now theres commercials on tv for it and I'm so excited. The book is classic, it was one of my favorites in elementary school and it always took like an hour to read because I had to stare at all the detail in the pictures.. The only thing is, the book was so short, I'm kind of skeptical about how the plot will go but the movie just looks so darn cute..

Anyone else? Thoughts? Opinions?

The book will always be a classic - it is absolutely brilliant and timeless.

I will be interested to see how they expanded the story into a full-length feature film. The look of the film that I have seen from the trailers looks gorgeous, just curious to what the story will be like.

it looks AMAZING! i think this may be one of the few movies where the film is better than the book... well. maybe not "better". but... equal haha.

I agree.. I saw an alternate trailer, not the official one on youtube, I tried to link it but it wasn't working..? But it showed the monsters talking alot, they all have names and jobs they do and stuff, lots of talking. It gave away the movie a bit, because the official trailer has almost no speaking in it, but the movie seems pretty quirky!

I know what you mean.. because the book has no dialogue, really. It will show different actual adventures instead of just the wild rumpus, which was really the only event that happened in the book before Max decided to go home.

I'm grown and have no kids or young relatives but I'm still going to see it! You can be young at heart for a few hours

I never read the books as a child, but the movie looks kinda cute. I love Spike Jonze, so i was glad to see he was directing another movie.

I wish some on my favorite childhood books would come to life on the screen. Berenstein Bears anyone!? lmao
