Tonight Tracy and I went to see Where the Wild Things Are, we hadn't been to the movies in forever, and it seemed like a safe enough choice. It was an ok movie but we both had the same impression, "Uh..I don't really get it." After seeing this movie and The Polar Express a few years ago, I think I'm getting more and more dubious about the idea of taking beloved children's picture books and turning them into feature films. I think 90% of the charm of these two books is the simplicity of the story and the beauty of the artwork, something that just doesn't quite translate when you try to blow them up into feature films.
It was VERY fun to go on a date though!
