If you were a fan of Muppets, watched Sesame Street or love The Labirynth then you know what to expect from Jim Henson's creature shop. Now, now...no mentioning the third Ninja Turtles movie. Anyway, Where The Wild Things Are is a film to see; the puppets are blended with 3D faces and is by far some of the best costuming work done today!

If you've ever read Maurice Syndak's children's book, you know that the tale is about a wild boy named Max who leaves his home and becomes king of the Wild Things in another world. Spike Jonze, who directed Wher The Wild Things Are as his first motion picture took the concept and expanded it to an in depth tale of belonging and self realization. However, what truly makes this movie an edge of your seat watch is how quickly things can go from bad to good to bad to worse to good. Imagine a child being the ruler of a bunch of monsters...how well do you imagine that goes? The movie will trick you, it will make you laugh, it will be relevant and relatable.

The adaption is wonderfully thought out; Spike Jonze took what is a very basic concept and expanded it equally into a thick, ritch combination of visuals, characters and plot. It's a light in the dark pit of movie theaters where it seems like almost everything just isn't worth seeing. And with the creature workshop set to rebirth four turtle brothers for next year won't it be nice to see they still have it? Really, the puppets are beautiful. The characters are great. Story awsome.

If you want to see a good movie go see this one.
