Where The Wild Things Are

Boy runs away to a fantasy world inhabited by monsters. Too damn serious. They took away a lot of the whimsy that the book had in favor of a slightly more detailed plot that didn't really add anything to the movie. Visually it was great, but the sense of fun just wasn't there. Might have worked better as a cartoon, or better yet, just a short film.



Also watched recently: The Box. Not that great, over-complicates what was a decent short story.
