I can’t tell you how excited I was when I heard that Where the Wild Things Are was being made into a movie. However, this wasn’t quite the same as the book I read so long ago. Looking back, I can see how I missed out on some of the themes such as a kid dealing with anger. But to me the movie put a lot more emphasis on dealing with emotions…well minus the dealing part.
I think you can take something from any movie, so here is the take home form Where the Wild Things Are: You can be a brat, act out, bite your mom and run away…and still get chocolate cake when you come home.
Enjoy
