This film is a fantastic companion to the book and embodies everything that Sendak meant to say in the book originally. I applaud you, Mr. Jonze, for staying true to the vision!

Yeah most of Sendak’s books were very dark and deep… with illustrations to serve as a backdrop for his own extremely emotional past. There is a myriad of symbols in his illustrations… some of them are comments on what was going on when he was illustrating or when the illustrations were commissioned.
In fact, most childrens’ books from those days were extremely metaphorical with deep social commentary.

The little boy wearing the crown reminded me of The Little Prince.

I’ve seen the movie twice. And I would see it a million more times if I could. The movie made feel like a kid again it made me wanna go home and run around and just be a kid. I loved the book as a kid. When the movie ended I was in tears because it was sad and that it ended I didn’t want to leave that theater that seat. I wanted to just cry out of happiness for that movie.

This movie really brings back the days of childhood when the emotions were close and immediate, the passions intense, vaguely strange, terrifying and beautiful all at the same time.

My hats off to the makers of this film for thinking outside of the box and creating what’s sure to become a classic. I was deeply moved by the film, more so than I ever could have imagined.

Why would 15 people making a movie make it bad?
What a terrible comment

This movie is a true gift. Those creatures are some of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen on screen.

@UhLawnUh me too…I was so choked up at one point, I thought I might have to leave so I didn’t belt out a sobbing cry, but I didn’t want to miss any part of the movie, so I just gagged on my tears and hung in there :0) Such a beautiful film indeed.
#15 by UhLawnUh on December 5, 2009 - 9:32 am

i absolutely love this movie. it is one my new favorites. i had to discreetly wipe away tears, some of them were from laughing too hard. i almost peed my pants at a few parts, but others were really touching. i love the feel of the movie, and i will never forget it.
WOMAN! FEED ME!

I loved the book as I child I wondered around the house pretending to meet friendly monsters and crossing oceans…. I loved that book.

I used to always day dream when I was a kid. And after I read the book, I used to call myself “Max” had the cape made out of a towle and every thing. And once I had my son, the first book he would grab for me to read to him before bedtime was Where the Wild Things Are, Now he thinks he is “Max”…. Love the book, Love the movie.

Well, it’s sort of ambiguous whether he actually does.
#21 by spartns12341234 on December 5, 2009 - 12:34 pm
I just got back from the movie.. and after I read the description for this vid.. It was kind of a downer. I thought he actually ran away and sailed to the wild things
#22 by southparkguru123 on December 5, 2009 - 1:05 pm

I loved this movie and I almost started crying at parts…There were some funny parts that I would laugh about too. “….I don’t like frozin corn……” <333
#24 by thecolorunknown on December 5, 2009 - 2:27 pm
I cried like a little bitch when I watched this movie. It is soo great..such a thoughtful take on children.
I fear it is too intelligent and honest to be popular, but oh well..I will keep it for myself while everyone is drooling over the next pixar movie.

The movie had funny moments.
