I understand it's a children's movie. I really do! The point is that there are probably better (funnier, more inventive) children's movies out there. Now, this all sounds extremely hypocritical considering I have not even seen the movie, but sometimes you can just tell. I could tell from the trailer that the film was going to be super annoying and filled with bathroom humor, cute animals, and nonstop furry action. In other words, it is manufactured to make money and get a few cheap laughs from kids without truly challenging their imaginations or capturing a childlike state of wonder.
sigh...
Meanwhile, this October, what looks like a truly inventive film will come out! It's a film that looks like it will challenge children's imaginations and capture a childlike state of wonder.
In case you have not seen it, here is the trailer for Spike Jonze's "Where the Wild Things Are," based on the beloved children's book by Maurice Sendak.
What a beaute! This trailer almost made me cry. It beautifuly captures the wonder, fear and innocence of a childhood. And it's just a trailer! I hope the film lives up to my expectations when it hits theaters October 16th. One thing is for sure. It will defenitely be better than G-Force.

where the wild things are looks brilliant i completely agree
After watching the trailers for "Where the Wild Things Are" and for "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" I am disgusted with what these films are doing to my childhood favorites. Yes, WtWTA looks like it will be a good movie but it is also apparent that it will stray from the short 8 page book. what is next? Goodnight Moon: The Movie?
