Where the Wild Things Are

So I went to see Where The Wild Things Are on my trip to Cali.

While I can't very well say it's a bad movie... it's actually a good movie. Very innovative, visually stunning and the storytelling is both clear and yet disorienting. So while it passes like a dream, you actually know everything that's going on.

Do NOT however go in expecting an interpretation of "Where The Wild Things Are"

My best description of it, without giving away anything. It is an interpretation of childhood using characters and environments seen in the book.

This was not a movie designed for children. Mind you, being someone very familliar with good animated films that are family friendly, things that are oriented at children can be just as well told and just as intelligently like movies such as "The Hunt for Red October"

This movie seemed more that it was directed toward adults with a perspective on childhood. However those peering from the point of view of the child would not simply understand it. If at all find it boring.

As I said, this movie is not BAD, but it is not what the title says it is. I still haven't decided if I like it or not... It's best if you all go see it for yourself to ascertain your own opinion.

How to Train your Dragon

Sooo... I saw the preview for the new film that Mr. Chris Sanders has directed after defecting over to Dreamworks.

I must say... from what I've seen, I'm not terribly excited.

Story wise it just simply looks like a re-tell of Lilo and Stitch. 2 characters, misfits in their respective societies, join to tie a broken bond while fixing their own lives.

The animation looks like your typical 3D animation. Overexaggeration with no personality. The dragon acts like stitch, ( not to mention the dome head)

You know... I have the artbook for Lilo and Stitch, both sketchbooks that Chris published and his Kiskaloo book ( thank you  blackteagan and  kenket ) all of which signed by the man himself. I've followed his career from Marvel to this point and I have to say this movie doesn't look like anything that could excersize his talents as a storyteller.

But before I get too much into a rant, I have to say I'm more dissapointed in his ego-stroking fan base for simply loving it BECAUSE he directed it. I'm not stunned by the director. I may look forward due to their credentials. Like say if Brad Bird is directing something then you're DAMN right I'm going to go see it. The movie is not good because a director directed it, it's because the director and the crew made the right decisions.

Any director, great or small is capable of making a bad movie. I reserve any and all judgement on this movie until I see it. And maybe a few times ( I didn't like Sweeney Todd until I saw it a third time)

I think most of my actual anger is stemming from how I recall being a fan of Chris back in 2002 and no one knowing him. Then all of a sudden he's the most popular guy on the planet. A little juvenile I agree but man...
