Where are the Wild Things? Coming soon to a theater near you...

Inevitably, movies always fall short when trying to interpret a book for the silver screen. Still, I never fail to watch my favorite books-turned-movie. I have to say, I am quite impressed with the look of this trailer. I hope the movie doesn't disappoint.

I look at the boy's wolf costume and I want one for Josh :) I'm guessing once the movie hits theaters we will have a made rush of "Where the Wild Things Are" merchandise. Hopefully the wolf costume will be on shelves too.

That's a perfect WTWTA wolf-boy costume. I'm going to try to mimic for my Bradley, if he'll allow it. He probably won't. =(

I see that Maurice Sendak is credited as author, but I'm going to check out how much artistic control he had for the movee. I'll watch it anyway because it looks entirely promising, but I'll be prepared if I know his participation was limited. It's like the entire Steven King thing - the more control SK has, the better the production.

"We'll eat you up we love you so." I first read that line to a group of four-year-olds 32 years ago. Unbelievable.

In order for the costume to be perfect, it would have to be complete with crown and scepter, of course. We love Maurice Sendak in this house!
