Last weekend on October 16 (My Birthday!) the highly anticipated movie adaptation of one of my favorite kids books, Where The Wild Things Are was released in theatres!
I've been excited for this movie for MONTHS and I was so excited to see it. The original book by Maurice Sandak was my favorite as a small child so I had high hopes for this movie and it definitely....... was not at all what I expected! But that's not to say it wasn't good. It was great!
I'll start off by saying your kids will probably have nightmares from this movie. I think it might have been made more for people who grew up with the book and are older now rather than kids now who are just seeing it for the first time.
The movie is incredibly dark and some scenes are absolutely terrifying. There's a lot of talk about eating people and not in a cute, pretending way. It's also really sad, but it is a great movie. Spike Jonez did a great job and I think he did great with what he was trying to do.
It was just an awesome movie and I'd recomend it to anyone who grew up on the book. If you're worried that it might ruin the book for you, it won't. It wasn't supposed to be anything like the book, it's just really sick so watch it!
