Where the Wild Things Are

Many people know this book called 'Where the Wild Things Are', a story about a boy named max who's parents send him to bed without supper, then he throws a tantrum and then travels to an island where wild things are, and they do a Rumpus which is a party where they dance and howl.

Finally the movie that most people have been waiting for, is coming out the 16th of October 2009. With the cast, Catherine O'Hara, Forest Whitaker, and Catherine Keener and writers, Spike Jonze, and Dave Eggers. the overall plot follows most of the books storyline, 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.

I don't understand why all of the greatest children's books have to be made into over-hyped movies. Now, I feel like kids who aren't old enough to know the book yet will think of this story as a movie, rather than a picture book. To add to that, the CGI makes the wild things look as un-wild as possible. They just look big, bouncy. Another icon of childhood ruined by CGI, over promotion. -The Arcade Fire song makes the trailer look and soud better than it is. Theatres will be packed for this movie, and i might see it since inever read the books.
