OK, seriously, this is like the BIGGEST news I have heard all week… are you kidding me?! A movie?! THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!

This was my absolute favorite book growing up (I think I have gone through 3 copies in my lifetime…) and I never get sick of it! I LOVE the illustrations, and the storyline is just so absurd that you simply can’t help but feel like a kid when you’re reading it! 

I was also checking out Apple’s website for the “Where the Wild Things Are” trailor…(yet another children’s favorite)…. sadly, I have a confession to make… 

…I’ve never read the book… *gasp*   The movie looks amazing, and I am SO glad they are using costumes and puppeteering rather than CGI… I admit CGI always LOOKS more realistic, but maybe thats just it… maybe with puppeteering and costumes… there is a sense of real organic life, and that it ISN’T perfect… but thats what makes it FEEL real… Jim Henson really was one in a million. (not sure who is doing the puppeteering for WTWTA, but give me a holla if you know!) In any case, I can’t wait to go to BOTH of these movies! Who wants to come with me!? :)

Thanks all for now, have a great weekend everyone!
