Disappointment

Wow, I was so disappointed in this movie.  My kids have never loved the book Where the Wild Things Are, but occasionally they do pick it from the bookshelf.  
When I initially saw that they were making a movie based on the book, I thought it could be an interesting story.  We watched half of it last night and I couldn't believe how they ruined the story.   I thought my boys might watch this after I previewed it, that certainly isn't going to happen now!  Why can't they just leave some things alone?
