An adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story, where Max, a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper, creates his own world--a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler. According to IMDB, it will be released in theaters on October 16, 2009. www.traileraddict.com/trailer/where-the-wild-things-are/trailerI don’t know about you guys but I’m very excited about this. I was skeptical at first but after watching the trailer, I was blown away. I will definitely watch this in theaters, I may bring my niece along since it looks like she can handle it and understand what’s going on.

One of my favorite books as a kid, and yeah, the trailer was absolutely brilliant. Very, very excited to see this.

I am really excited about this. I am skeptical though. The film was first announced in 2000 and even had a short teaser attached to the live action Grinch movie, with Jim Carrey, then it took them six years to actually get it going. Early last year I remember there were rumors that the studio wanted to reshoot the entire film.
I really liked the trailer though, and the movie seems surprisingly dark, considering it is based off of a children's book. I loved the book as a kid, so I hope the movie does it justice.

From what I can remember, the book was pretty dark for a children's book.
Admittedly, this wasn't one of my favorite stories growing up, but I do have fond memories of it. The director seems to really capture the essence of children's minds in the camera direction, and it looks amazing. I'm a little skeptical about the "adaptation" part; of course, any film of the book would need to be adapted... though from the trailer it seems to deal with adult themes seen through child eyes. I wonder how they handle it.

I can't wait to see this! Spike Jonze directing and Karen O doing music!
I heard that the studio wanted to re-make the whole film as it was to dark and Max's character was totally un-likeable. I think that is what its like in the book though (although I haven't read it in years), so hopefully they won't destroy Jonze's vision to much.

So I went out with the fam and watched it. Out of everyone, I'm the only person who enjoyed it. There was a ton of bashing during the car ride home. I can't decided who my favorite Wild Thing was. I thought Judith was funny. I felt bad for most of them (Douglas for getting his arm ripped off, The Bull and Alexander for looking so depressed, and Ira for being a bit on the slow side). My least favorite was Carol, he was basically the same as Max. Dude, Max should have died. Throwing mud piles, jumping on one another should have killed him. Seriously. lol. I have to give Karen O kudos, she did an awesome job with the music. And in the end, after trashing his sister's room, flipping out, biting his mom, and running away... he gets chocolate cake. Only if that happened in real life. lol.

I hope you got that that was the point. Everything in the story is metaphoric; I couldn't even fully explain all the themes just by the one time I've seen the film thus far. The book is the same way, it's such a fantastic children's book for that reason. I cried at the end. <3

Gah. This movie looks amazing. And I haven't had the time to see it yet. I get a little rush every time I see the trailer, and the fact that the Arcade Fire sings in it is just a total win.
This was maybe my third favorite book when I was little. At first I was skeptical of the movie, but now I'm so excited I want to explode. It better not be a disappointment, but Dave Eggers wrote the screenplay I think, and he's pretty good.

I saw the movie recently and I have to say...not one of my most favorite movies ever....It was a very sad story and at times I was quite bored and wanted to fall asleep. There was some very great moments in it that made me smile but I thought the ending bit was a tad bit obvious, even though it made me tear up.
