Where the Wild Things Are as a live action film? Think I may just pass, & stick with our (ex-public-library) copy of the book.

We borrowed it yeeeeeears ago when our son was about two & read it to him. A few mornings later we heard him reciting the words to himself, bright lad.

Main trouble with FotBs is that they fillet the text for the basic plot, then alter it & throw in all sorts of unnecessary bits which would be far better left out for bits that really were in the book. That & the characters rarely look or sound as they should. Well done Peter Jackson with LotR, mostly.
Then you get the BotF & discover quite what a thin plot the film actually had, & how much was padding with big screen shots (remembers International Velvet)
