Parents Not so Wild about those Wild Things


Apparently many parents complained of the new movie, "Where the Wild Things Are". Many claim that their children were bored, or that the movie was too sad. One parent even said that the movie was geared to 8-12 year olds instead of 1-3 year olds. I personally would like to know what 1-3 year old enjoys any movie without minimal dialogue, bright colorful objects and a campy narrator. Obviously the writer had to expand the dialogue in order to create an interesting movie. If parents have such a problem with this one movie, just not taking their children to see it seems like a workable solution. Although the younger children are not enjoying the movie, many teenagers, parents and grandparents are seeing the movie. Maybe this movie wasn't supposed to be geared for younger children, maybe instead it was geared to bring up fond childhood memories in older people. Whatever the case, there is no point in ruining a good movie.
