Where The Wild Things Are movie.
Every single time I see the commercial for Where the Wild Things Are on tv, I am completely amazed at how awesome it looks.
It looks absolutely fantastic doesn't it?!
They did a great job making the movie look like the book, the wild things are done so cool looking, they look like they could be real.
There are several scenes where Max is riding one of the wild things around, it just looks so comfy and fun, riding on a big wild animal like that, the fur/hair looks real, I love that!
When Max is riding one of them, he doesn't even need a saddle or other horse supplies to stay on, the wild things are so gentle with Max, they make sure that he doesn't fall off.
Where the Wild Things Are is one of those classic childrens books that I think every parent has read to their kids over and over, it's an amazingly simple but beautiful story.
In just 48 pages, kids are transported through their imaginations to the place where the wild things are.
The movie looks incredible, it looks just like my imagination has taken me at some point in all of the years I've read it to my sons, my nieces, and any kids that I babysat.
Every time that Sebastian sees the trailer, he gets this huge smile on his face and says that he can't wait to see it, he says that it's one of his favorite books.
Mark even said he'd like to see it, so age doesn't really matter, if the movie is as good as the book, kids and parents alike will love to see it.

Comments
I'm not ashamed to admit that I buy kids' books and DVDs for myself. "Where The Wild Things Are" is a book that's been around forever, I remember getting that and other Maurice Sendak books from the library when I was a kid. I would definitely see this movie, and I wouldn't even feel the need to *borrow* someone's kid to go.
I've seen the trailers, and it does look awesome! Looking forward to seeing it!

We have been reading "The Gruffalo" to our kids recently, and it's rapidly become a favourite.
We all want to go and see Where the Wild Things Are too.
Great blog btw - just discovered it!

Amazing to think that a book consisting of nine sentences could say so much, huh?
