By the way I did pay more attention to the tv commercials about "where the wild things are" and went to see the movie last night. here the movie is being promoted very clearly as a movie for adults not children with a disclaimer that children are allowed in on parental guidance. And at the theater before they started the movie a guy announced the due to the controvialness of this movie world wide their establishment was requiring their employees to speak with the audiance before showing the film. he then stated if there were any persons that easily get upset by shows that have situaitons where there is violence and children acting out in negative and violent ways the show was not meant for them and their children. The book is very clear on the fact that the child and animals get rowdy and act out in inappropriate ways. The movie is based on a fictional book which has no religous nor psychological hidden meanings and no children and animals were harmed during the making of the movie. then they showed the movie. I found it to be entertaining and quite much like the book and did not see anything that could be considered the child experiencing a dissociative event. If I had children I would not take them to the movie without first reading the book and discussing with them how the rowdyness and violence in the book may look on screen. it can be quite shocking and triggering to children and adults not expecting it.
