8. Where The Wild Things Are


Maurice Sendak’s story just got stretched and the gaps filled in with putty by Spike Jonze. But was the putty the right colour? and more importantly, was it any good? I think so. I think the whole thing might be a bit heavy for anyone under the age of seven, but maybe that's the point. Even in your imagination things don't always work out well. I liked the wild rumpus bit and I can imagine kids would rather watch that bit on repeat than have to deal with the complications of the end.
