On Friday there leaked a brief clip from the Spike Jonze live-action film adaptation of
Where the Wild Things Are, and folks have been buzzing about how adorable — yet strange — the movie looks. There's a lovely innocence to it, as well as a distinctly melancholic tone, all in keeping with the book on which the movie is based. I love that the puppet is a real thing, and not some CGI creature.

Details about the live-action adaptation of beloved kids' book
Where the Wild Things Are have been trickling in over the past few months, from this NY Magazine piece talking about
the quality of Dave Eggers' script, to the news that
Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs will be doing some music for the film (which is directed by her ex Spike Jonze). So far, I'm liking what I'm seeing about this project, though messing around with favorite childhood books always sends up some warning flags.
How do you feel about a Where the Wild Things Are movie?
