No longer just a book

Normally I'm skeptical about book adaptations, but...consider me blown away.
I recently saw a commercial at the movie theatres (Aliens vs Monsters) about this. The book was my all time favorite, childhood wise.
I am looking forward to this movie.

I'm with Morphman on this one.

I post musings, images and nonsense on Tumblr! I play games on Steam! Add me on either/both, and don't hesitate to ask if you want to play something with me!

It's a childrens book, about a boy who was sent to bed without supper. She tells him that he is such a wild thing. He goes into his closet to find the place 'Where the Wild Things are." The boy scares them, so they make him king.
All in all, it's a story on how someone's imagination can go wild.

It weirds me out when they turn picture books into movies.
I originally did not know that Shrek was a picture book by William Steig.
Needlessly to say that I really *distrust* the movie adaption as it seems that it's Dreamworks' version of bashing on Disney as the book was just about an ugly orge who found a female orge who was even uglier than him!
Hope the adaption for Where the Wild Things Are (by Maurice Sendak) is intact.

* DragonBlayde thwacks Mega_X with Kia's thongs <Kia_Purity> NOT MY THONGS
One of the Main reasons I'm looking forward to it, is because I know where I can find the book. Next time I get a chance to get out there, I'm gauranteed getting it.
Plus, I am wondering what kind of characteristics the Wild Things gain.
Not to mention a whole new twist that the movie provides.
