We just watched the new film “Where The Wild Things Are” based on the popular children’s book of the same name by author/illustrator Maurice Sendak.
The film was good- but one Wild Thing we really noticed was Ira (voiced by Forest Whitaker). The character in the movie reminded us of our very own wild thing (the guy on the right, duh!?!) Both Iras are very, very loving and sweet. They’re also both not too bright and both have strong urges to eat things they’re not supposed to. Both are also in love with strong furry females: Ira- the wild thing loves fellow wild thing Judith and Ira- the cat loves Georgia of course.
Director Spike Jonze does a decent job bring the ten sentence book to life.
