    Where the Wild things are

    I grew up with this book in elementary and now I'm kind of not surprised to see it made into a movie

    Wow, I forgot about those books. I'm intrigued what the movie will be like.

    I've seen many of the trailers and it looks amazing. The book was kinda short to be made into a full length movie, so I'm sure there's going to be a lot of deviation (looks like some out of world and real world scenes). I'm going to have to open up my tote of old books and read this again.

    Oh fuck God no. Just don't fucking well do it.

    Yes I'm pissed - I'm pissed more than anything else because it's a book that we use a LOT in schools and if there's a movie of it we'll not be able to use it for kids' writing and stuff as easily cos all we'll get will be regurgitated crap from the movie. Least they've kept Max dressed right in his suit.

    It's not one of my favourite kids' books and it's not one I'll choose to read aloud for storytime etc but it is still a good one (sorry - bit of a kids' picture books junkie).

    So wake up sleepy one
    It's time to save your world

    Steal dreams and give to you
    Shoplift a thought or two
    All children touch the sun
    Burn fingers one by one
    By one

    Will this earth be good to you?
    Keep you clean or stain through?

    So wake up sleepy one
    It's time to save your world
    You're where the wild things are
    Yeah, toy soldiers off to war

    Big eyes to open soon
    Believing all under sun and moon
    But does heaven know you're here?
    And did they give you smiles or tears
    No, no tears

    Will this earth be good to you?
    Keep you clean or stain through?

    So wake up sleepy one
    It's time to save your world
    You're where the wild things are
    Yeah, toy soldiers off to war

    You swing your rattle down
    (Hand puppets storm the base
    Flags up now cannons rage
    Hand puppets storm the base)
    Call to arms the trumpets sound
    (Flags up now cannons rage
    All clowns head for the rear
    Slingshots fire to the air
    All clowns head for the rear)
    Toy horses start the charge
    (Slingshots fire to the air
    Slip into the edge of death
    Crossfire to the marionettes)
    Robot chessmen standing guard
    (Slip into the edge of death
    Crossfire to the marionettes)
    (all together)
    We shall never surrender

    All you children touch the sun
    Burn your fingers one by one
    Will this earth be good to you?
    Keep you clean or stain through?

    So wake up sleepy one
    It's time to save your world
    You're where the wild things are
    Yeah, toy soldiers off to war
    Off to war
    Off to war

    So close your little eyes

    Surprised no one updated this since they've been playing trailers at select movies and posters are popping out.

    Bumped for newish trailer

    Made me feel like a kid again on the inside. Pretty excited to see this movie. I already know that it's not going to mirror the book, so I'm not going to dig it up and re-read it so I can nitpick every scene in the movie.

    I'm surprised Michael Cera isn't in this movie. He could wear a hoodie the whole movie like all his others!

    I don't think Arcade Fire is getting enough credit for making the trailer alot better than it actually is. I hope they get a percentage of ticket sales. Nostalgia/childhood memories aside, Where the Wild Things Are was an ok story saved by the artwork.
