This movie is definitely full of fun, and heartbreak. It brought back memories of REAL childhood, where there was hurt, uncontrollable feelings that you thought no one could understand. Where The Wild Things Are took me to a place that I understood... but my seven year old didn't understand it. We all shed some tears, I left feeling good, hoping we could go back to that world... but it is not for young children. I might almost say it was too mature for my seven year old.
