Try this.

Maurice Sendak tells parents worried by Wild Things to 'go to ****' | Books | guardian.co.uk

It's actually a bit amuzing.

Ha! I love it when people are not afraid to speak their minds.

LOVE that book. LOVE it. I am hesitant to see the movie only because of how much I love that book.

Me too! My dad taught at our local college when I was a preschooler, and he would check that book out of the college's library and bring it home and read it to me several times a year when I was little. I always loved it, and I would ask him all the time when he was going to bring Where the Wild Things Are home again. I have very fond memories of snuggling on my daddy's lap reading that story. I think it's a wonderful book, and I love knowing where Maurice Sendak's inspiration for the Wild Things came from. They're his FAMILY!

Re: Maurice Sendak hates Mickey Mouse, more

haha, that was awesome. I have to say, no offense to anyone, I think I'd tell parents who are concerned about the movie to "Go To " too!!
There are a lot scarier things in the world to guard your children from.

Aye aye aye.

And ironically, I don't know who copied who but his quote about Mickey Mouse is almost EXACTLY the same as Warren Spector's words when talking about his early obsession with Mickey Mouse. Like almost EXACTLY the same, so I'd love to know who inspired who. Interesting.

Re: Maurice Sendak hates Mickey Mouse, more

I, sadly, heard the movie was not very good!

It's one that I love and one that I love to teach to Early Childhood students. I'll have to rent the DVD when it comes out and see for myself.

Valid points or no... I honestly don't care... he sounds like someone who seriously needs to get over himself.

It's a very short book. I could never imagine that they can make a decent movie out of it. Who wants to hear growling for 2 hours?

I don't think kids books translate very well to movies..I remember The Polar Express was terrible (at least I thought so) and it was SOOOO long for a book that had about 3 words if that.
