Where The Wild Things Are -- looks amazing

Ever since I can remember I have considered Maurice Sendak's book, Where The Wild Things Are, to be utter perfection.

His illustrations so brilliantly capture the freaky way adults can crowd and overwhelm a child on their own personal journeys. One minute appearing to be a loving tribe, then an angry mob, the next. All depending on one's perspective, of course as well as the adults expectations of the hero of the story, Max.



Anyhow --

Since I clearly hold Sendak's original classic to be one of the few bibles of great children's literature, I was reluctant to accept that one could improve it by reinventing it into an art that that doesn't, actually, involve reading.

However, perhaps I'll be a convert if the entire film is as good as this trailer.
