Where the wild things are

I don't  think that Max was made the way he should have been. They made him seem like he's a wimpy and destructive kid that drives everyone crazy. I also think that they made the wild things too scary since it's supposed to be for little kids. I do not think that the film adaptation was successful because the forest seemed too dark. I think that Spike Jonze made the film to be a family movie but turned out to look like a kids horror story.
