People weren't ready for this movie at the time. But I think if this came out today, it would've found it's audience. Even if it came out 10 years from now. It's a classic in my eyes,
Absolutely, it's truly an underrated classic. It's themes and characters work so well and aren't underused or mishandled at all, it's truly a work of art.
You know it's f***** up I was an adult by the time this movie came out. But when I was a kid it was my absolute favourite book and it was because I felt like I didn't belong and I felt like maybe somewhere out there there's a place for wild things like me. The fact that they've banned this book someplaces is disgusts me. I'm 36 years old and I'm still trying to find Where the Wild Things Are
I can’t go back to my childhood either . But it’s still with me . Life can suck but you’ll always remember childhood isn’t gone forever it will always stays with you
It's not the same formula, but this reminds me so much of Pete's Dragon. In a way, the Dragon moves from child to child to aid them in need. In relation, the island is meant to aid children like Max. And moves from child to child, possibly changing form to reflect the child. We don't know the other versions, because they aren't meant for us.
I repressed the memory of this movie. I almost thought it was a dream, then I found the book the other day. I'm happy I found it again. It sort of helps me get a reference point to the root of how I feel about things nowadays. This was one of the landmark movies that eased me into real world perspectives when I was just a kid. I can tell from the timestamps of these comments that everyone else seems to be lost in deep thought too XD Whoever makes it here, yall are some real ones and I appreciate your nostalgia.
That's really good to hear Zach. Sometimes it's things like a song or a movie that can bring perspective. Life's a trip my friend. Don't forget to have fun.
The book seems like it was a bit better, I was listening to breezeblocks by alt-j and the story was mentioned so I looked through the pile of old books to find and nostalgia hit like a wall of bricks so I wanted to see how it all differed
@@BruceWayne-mb4hk I miss James Gandolfini a lot. When I first heard that James Gandolfini had died from a heart attack back in 2013, I was devastated & heartbroken. I have been very supportive of his work, especially my favorite movie called Where The Wild Things Are, he did the voice of Carol, who is the leader of the Wild Things & he's my favorite Wild Thing.
@@dumbass3651 the suits are real but the facial expressions are cgi. Originally, the faces were supposed to be animatronic but it was too heavy for the performers
The wild things roared their terrible roars and gnashed their terrible teeth and rolled their terrible eyes and showed their terrible claws but Max stepped into his private boat and waved good-bye and sailed back over a year and in and out of weeks and through a day and into the night of his very own room where he found his supper waiting for him and it was still hot.
I feel like Max trying to have everyone together represents that we always want things to go our way but we'll eventually have to grow up and realize that doesn't always happen. Like, I can remember just how much I wanted all my friends from middle school to go to the same high school as me. Now I'm going into senior year and I'm friends with less than half of them.
Part of what’s great about friends is also part of what sucks about them. It seems that our situations dictate friendships at first. Then, given enough time together in these situations our friendships may transcend our situations. I am currently in active contact with ONE friend I’ve had since elementary school and several more I met all the way in college. Of course, now that I’m older, I don’t view these other friends as being enemies or even NPC’s. I know that if we were to get together again, we would probably still hit it off. Anyway, it’ll all work out. Make new friends, or don’t! Sometimes it’s okay to go it alone too.
I really relate to Carol in this movie, which makes Max's departure that much more sad for me 😥 Carol can be so sweet and playful but also very destructive when he's angry. When he comes running to the boat, he knows he acted out and wants to make up for it but its too late. Its time for Max to go home 😥
@@DavidLopez-qi8hb I also like to think he represents Max losing his Dad too. He didn't get to hug his Dad either. But at least here he can say goodbye.
@@DavidLopez-qi8hb We relate to Carol in this movie, which makes Max's departure that much more sad for us 😥 KW says" I eat you up, I love you so. But Max on a boat and they can say farewell, and he goes home.😥
It’s the most depressing movie ever and I cant stop relating it with stuff in my life like when Carol was running to go say goodbye and it was to late it was like me not being able to say bye to my grandma when she died
James Gandolfini was amazing as the voice of Carol, which he is my favorite Wild Thing. When I first heard that James Gandolfini died back in 2013, I was devastated, heartbroken & he's like a family member to me, except, I never met him, but I got some of his films, including The Sopranos on DVD. Still, I bet a sequel to Where The Wild Things Are could be a special dedication to Maurice Sendak & James Gandolfini to honor them both in their memories.
What's so cool is that you can look at this movie in many different ways: You could say this whole movie was a symbol of leaving childhood if you wanted to You could say the monsters were real and the island was real if you wanted too You could say this was Max's imagination and it wasn't a symbol if you wanted too
I remember this was my favorite movie when I was little. It made me feel loved but lonely at the same time. At the age of six, I didn’t know why the ending scene always got to me until I got older. People underestimate how lonely it can be to be a kid.. I did have a lot of friends and family as a child, but being physically alone is different from feeling alone and at several times, I felt like the loneliest kid in the world. At the age of six I couldn’t form it into words, but now I can say that this movie captures the pure essence of childhood sorrow and everlasting love perfectly. Im not lonely anymore by the way. I have people who truly love me and I love them back with all my heart and soul, and when I’m with them, I never ever feel alone. Yet with this pandemic, I haven’t seen my boyfriend or any of my friends in over 5 months. I know that I’ll see them again soon, and I’m happy that we still talk like 24/7, but I miss seeing them in person. I haven’t felt that sense of loneliness in a very long time. Coming back to this ending scene is one of the greatest loves and greatest sorrows that cinema has to offer me.

Good point. Especially with Max, where he couldn't really feel happy being himself until he went to the island to express his imagination and frustrations, and they understood him.
If it were me, I'd beg to wait for Carol. Once I see him coming, I'd wait for him to stop, run up to him and hug him so tightly and cry. I'd apologise for lying to him and forgive him for his behaviour and have him carry me to the boat
When Carol went into the water, he was using his eyes to tell Max that he wants to apologize for scaring him off, he doesn't want Max to leave, he wants him to stay. Carol was also using his eyes to tell Max that he loves him & that Max is like a son figure to him as well.
@@rochellenorlund1990 wow that’s amazing I was crying when carol gave max that expression on his face but I never knew as a kid he wanted to apologise to max with a facial expression like that
This movie made me terrified of these fucking things. Scary as shit. But now as I look back.. I have to say... not a damn thing has change. Still scary asf
Dude fr these things scare the shit outta me even till this day, just everything about these creatures is fucking horrifying I get the chills watching this shit
I agree. He did the voice of Carol, he's the leader of the Wild Things. I do miss him a lot. When I first heard that James Gandolfini died from a heart attack, I was so devastated & heartbroken. I have been very supportive of his work & got some of his films as well, but Where The Wild Things Are is my favorite James Gandolfini movie.
hearing James Gandolfini made me emotional like missing an old friend, I felt like this is sadly one of the ways he says bye in real life being cut short.
It's crazy rewatching this scene, and realizing the song Breezeblocks is about this story. I've never actually realized it until she said "Don't go. I'll eat you up, I love you so."
Incredible movie, ingenuously constructed. The emotional connection it creates is so powerful and makes you, at the same time, to feel like a child but to understand as an adult. I saw it twice, with 2 of my children, 6 years ago and now and it gets me every time
This movie is still so clear in my head after all these years, the way it so violently made 12 years old me confront the fact my parents were real people with their own feelings that I could hurt too.
I remember seeing this movie as a kid when it came out and I loved it, but was still crushed, and when I rewatched it years later on my 18th birthday, and it still crushed me, this is one of the most beautiful movies in my opinion, it truly emphasizes the meaning of love, and what it does to us, be it positive or negative, we all still love each other no matter what.. Plus RIP Mr. Gandolfini, your performance still breaks me, and I love it, you're a true inspiration to me as an actor, I hope you're well on the other side good sir.
Loved the book growing up as a kid, repressed this movie coming out for some reason. It came out at such a strange time in life, this is some the best cgi ever put out too.
When I was a kid I used to watch movies in the theatres multiple times. I watched this and Tron in theatres about 6 times for each movie. They both have amazing soundtracks
This movie was too short. Just rewatched it after 12 years and cried throughout the whole thing. Like a dream of a time before. This goodbye really got me because this movie was so short and unsuccessful that it’s the only one in its class. So this goodbye is really goodbye forever.
Did not expect this to be the origin of the soundtrack used in The Good Place, but the composer certainly did a great job creating a song so bittersweet that it almost brings me to tears every time I hear it. "The song for goodbyes" is what I'll remember it as, whatever the meaning. because it just _fits_ . I really just love this :)
I remember watching this movie late at night with my cat the day before he was euthanized due to medical issues. I started crying at this part and even though he didn't have the strength to climb or run anymore, he inched his way towards me and rested his head on my leg and started purring. I miss you everyday Solaire. Don't go, I'll eat you up I love you so.
This movie brings me right back to 4th grade. There was this kid I knew named Nate who was OBSESSED with both the book and the movie, and talked about them nonstop. I remembered he showed me the book and the cover alone scared the shit out of me as a kid lmao
I guess it was the goal. They are monsters They would love to love Still they are monsters They would love to be a loving family Still they are sad monsters Even if they would love to love Max They know they are monsters It's time for Max to leave.
this was the first film I had watched which didn't have the happiest of endings, it made me realise not everything is okay all of the time, and some problems won't resolve, and it's okay to feel sad about them
At the start of the movie, when the soundtrack "igloo" starts playing, man it sends shivers through my body, but the warm, fuzzy, good kind. I've always felt like I had a special connection to that song and this movie. And after all these years, *that still hasn't changed.*
I have a friend that looks like the bird who loved this movie, he also was missing and arm. He was in a small movie about homeless veterans "My roof the Sky".
Carol really cares for Max, he's like a father-figure to Max. James Gandolfini did a wonderful job as the voice of Carol, just like how he did Tony Soprano from The Sopranos.
When I watched this as a kid for the first time ever, I was honestly super scared of Carol, especially when he got angry and tried to eat Max. At the end I literally was panicking and thought Carol was gonna make it to Max’s boat and eat him. But re-watched it a million times, I cried hard when Carol started to howl, I wish he got a hug from Max, as I would’ve hugged him. God I love this movie and I love watching it with my babies so much. Ugh.
I remember watching this in the movie theater when I was little, with my dad and my little brother, I remember in this part it made me start to cry, but when it's over I cried all the way to my old house and my mom comfort me, and I never forget that goodbye scene, I still like that movie though.
Omg. I love this movie so much. It feels like a dream. Filled with emotions. To whoever didn't watch this movie yet. I would suggest putting it on your to-do list. This movie is just too good for you not to.
When max leaves it made me sad he had to go home and wanted to be where someone loved his best of all . But I’ll always appreciate the movie and book . I’ll remember my mom reading the book to me and my sis when we were little toddlers . I’ll eat you up I love you so 🥲
Having to leave is like leaving your childhood, realizing you have to grow up. Realizing not everything goes your way, that it won't always be happy sunshine and rainbows.
I read the book as a kid, so much I'd wish I could live the Wild Things. Love this movie. Cause as we grow up, we sometimes turn into monsters ourselves and forget the love ov what it is to be a child again. HOWL...
People say, that it’s him leaving his childhood and imagination. But why. Why does it have to end. We are all born with a childlike sense of wonder, and then once we grow up, we just stop. We stop exploring. We stop wondering. We simply, stop. So then, why do we do this to ourselves? We are always such in a race to become older and mature and edgy. And once it happens, we want to go back. Have you ever been made fun of for being the least bit childish? Max is about to go into his teenage years, he about 12. Now it’s hard becoming older, because you begin to become scared about what other people will think. Max created these things to have someone that understood him, you’ll see how reality sneaks it’s way into imagination. See, max is unique, nobody gets him, he’s misunderstood. He left his mom because she didn’t understand his feelings. At the beginning you see her on a date drinking wine. She stopped. She forgot what it was like to be in his shoes. So when he ran away he used his childlike imagination to create a world where everyone loved him. But they had problems to. Even in your imagination you cant escape the reality of problems. They were hoping that he would solve their problems. He tried but, he couldn’t. He couldn’t do it on his own. He also needed someone. Someone to solve his problems. When he goes back, maybe his mom might understand him a bit more. Now when things start to fall apart, it’s because he can’t fix all of these problems. No matter what you do you can’t fix everything to be perfect. Everyone wants different things. And if they can’t be compatible, then they can’t be satisfied. Even in your imagination you can’t be satisfied. He begins to miss his mom, and wants to be somewhere where someone loves him most of all. That’s why he tells kw, “I wish you had a mom” . All I’m saying is that, you only get to be a kid for so long, cause eventually life will begin to become harder and more like, reality. You won’t always be able to run away to your imagination when things are bad, or someone doesn’t understand you. As max leaves, Carols world starts to fall apart with Max’s imagination. Everyone is being separated cause they all want different things. All carol wanted was for everyone to be together, but they can’t cause they all have different minds. But, they are all still family. It doesn’t matter if you have different thoughts. Same with max. When his sister doesn’t play with him and his mother doesn’t acknowledge him, all he wants is for them to be together. Carol represents max, and max represents carol. They are one in the same. Carol was excited when max came cause he found someone that understood him. And when max left, it was like he was disappearing cause max was leaving. When carol is talking about the island becoming dust, it’s because max is becoming older. His imagination is fading and so is his innocence. After he leaves, he can never go back.
@@maxsmovies6531 I guess I just mean that you should never let go of the things that made you you, and imagination builds up a lot of you and what kind of person you are
*When I first watched the movie, I didn't really understand it at all. Years later, I went on a Journey to cure my Leukemia. During my time out in the woods, parks, cemeteries, and others.... I met lots of people - characters like in the movie. From there, I was able to learn a lot and now I appreciate the movie even more. My journey is like a roller coaster and still is as I am writing this post. From mental issues to a life of pains & suffering, to love, to fear, to lost, to schizo, to homelessness, and all of the emotions/mental issues that some of us have to deal with on a daily. Some of the people I met are like the characters in the movie, pretty sad but that is what life is. Some I can't help and some I have to look away from even though it's painful inside. Sad for me to walk away, but I must come first. Who is gonna help me if I fall? It's not only me who needed help, but also the people I met for the past year. I have so much emotional built-in that sometimes it's hard to bear. I'd wish I have a magic wand and wave at some of these people to make their problems go away. But then, I would have to wave it myself and make my "Leukemia" go away too. It really opens up your eyes and mind and the effects that sometimes are hard to bear. If you do not understand this movie... Go on a little journey like me and you shall see it all. It will change you for the better!*

RIP James Gandolfini (September 18, 1961 - June 19, 2013), age 51
You will be remembered as a legend.
I agree. He did the voice of Carol, he's the leader of the Wild Things. I do miss him a lot. When I first heard that James Gandolfini died from a heart attack, I was so devastated & heartbroken. I have been very supportive of his work & got some of his films as well, but Where The Wild Things Are is my favorite James Gandolfini movie.
hearing James Gandolfini made me emotional like missing an old friend, I felt like this is sadly one of the ways he says bye in real life being cut short.
I never thought about that way till now. 😢
It's crazy rewatching this scene, and realizing the song Breezeblocks is about this story. I've never actually realized it until she said "Don't go. I'll eat you up, I love you so."
This was the first movie to make me bawl my eyes out as a kid. It has a very special place I’m my heart.
Incredible movie, ingenuously constructed. The emotional connection it creates is so powerful and makes you, at the same time, to feel like a child but to understand as an adult. I saw it twice, with 2 of my children, 6 years ago and now and it gets me every time
This movie is still so clear in my head after all these years, the way it so violently made 12 years old me confront the fact my parents were real people with their own feelings that I could hurt too.
I remember seeing this movie as a kid when it came out and I loved it, but was still crushed, and when I rewatched it years later on my 18th birthday, and it still crushed me, this is one of the most beautiful movies in my opinion, it truly emphasizes the meaning of love, and what it does to us, be it positive or negative, we all still love each other no matter what.. Plus RIP Mr. Gandolfini, your performance still breaks me, and I love it, you're a true inspiration to me as an actor, I hope you're well on the other side good sir.
Loved the book growing up as a kid, repressed this movie coming out for some reason. It came out at such a strange time in life, this is some the best cgi ever put out too.

Me too bro, I honestly miss going to Blockbuster every Friday when I was in elementary school
@@coffeelink943 I miss blockbuster, damn Netflix smh
I grew up with the book as a kid and was excited when they finally made a movie. I think they did an amazing job.
💯.They nailed it brahh!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
When I was a kid I used to watch movies in the theatres multiple times. I watched this and Tron in theatres about 6 times for each movie. They both have amazing soundtracks
The Tron Legacy soundtrack is perfection
This movie gave me nightmares when I was a kid.
SAME LMAOAOAO
I like how the comments on this are either about how sad it made them or how much it scared them
This movie never scared me . I enjoyed it and rewatched it as a kid
The way KW says "Don't go, we'll eat you up, I love you so." Just brings a tear to my eye.😥
I’m almost 40 years old and I still cry like a little baby on this movie
This movie disturbed me in such a comforting way.
This movie was too short. Just rewatched it after 12 years and cried throughout the whole thing. Like a dream of a time before. This goodbye really got me because this movie was so short and unsuccessful that it’s the only one in its class. So this goodbye is really goodbye forever.
Same it really reminded me of my toddler days :D
I have read the book when i was about 4 or 5 years old...I am 47 now and i have read it to my son who is 18 now...Good memories!
The movie is great but that shit scary
This film genuinely made me feel like a child again, it felt like one of those vivid dreams you have, amazing film
Did not expect this to be the origin of the soundtrack used in The Good Place, but the composer certainly did a great job creating a song so bittersweet that it almost brings me to tears every time I hear it. "The song for goodbyes" is what I'll remember it as, whatever the meaning. because it just _fits_ . I really just love this :)
Still makes me cry.
Dude I’m 25 still cutting onions
Me too
I know it’s not real but I want to live with them on the island so bad😭
Me too😢
@@jeniferesparza7770 Yeah, mine too. But we think we can say farewell
@@LydFraz yeah
"Max became a great king is what he did! He ruled responsibly and in this house, he's a hero, END OF STORY!!" -Carol
I remember watching this movie late at night with my cat the day before he was euthanized due to medical issues. I started crying at this part and even though he didn't have the strength to climb or run anymore, he inched his way towards me and rested his head on my leg and started purring.
I miss you everyday Solaire. Don't go, I'll eat you up I love you so.
Was watching this in my Moloch costume and I still cried when Carol started howling. Saddest howling I ever heard.
This movie brings me right back to 4th grade. There was this kid I knew named Nate who was OBSESSED with both the book and the movie, and talked about them nonstop. I remembered he showed me the book and the cover alone scared the shit out of me as a kid lmao
those creatures are so creepy and wholesome looking at the same time
I guess it was the goal.
They are monsters
They would love to love
Still they are monsters
They would love to be a loving family
Still they are sad monsters
Even if they would love to love Max
They know they are monsters
It's time for Max to leave.
Jim Henson's Creature Shop in a nutshell
the ending always made me cry
I wanna hug carol😢
this was the first film I had watched which didn't have the happiest of endings, it made me realise not everything is okay all of the time, and some problems won't resolve, and it's okay to feel sad about them
Watched this movie 3 times in theaters and many times at home. I love the soundtrack as well. Omg, this scene makes me so emotional.
The Bull has a surprisingly sweet voice
The Bull Wild Thing is voiced by Michael Berry Jr. Bull is the quiet one of the Wild Things, he likes to be alone, he's very shy.
My favourite film of all time and this scene is just beautiful.
At the start of the movie, when the soundtrack "igloo" starts playing, man it sends shivers through my body, but the warm, fuzzy, good kind. I've always felt like I had a special connection to that song and this movie. And after all these years, *that still hasn't changed.*
I have a friend that looks like the bird who loved this movie, he also was missing and arm. He was in a small movie about homeless veterans "My roof the Sky".
ruclips.net/video/JGPsWXn_b_w/видео.html
His name's Douglas, Carol's best friend
I loved the movie as a kid still love it now
This movie is a cinematic masterpiece and massively underrated.
This makes me cry when Carol didn't make it time to give him one last hug
Carol really cares for Max, he's like a father-figure to Max. James Gandolfini did a wonderful job as the voice of Carol, just like how he did Tony Soprano from The Sopranos.
When I watched this as a kid for the first time ever, I was honestly super scared of Carol, especially when he got angry and tried to eat Max. At the end I literally was panicking and thought Carol was gonna make it to Max’s boat and eat him. But re-watched it a million times, I cried hard when Carol started to howl, I wish he got a hug from Max, as I would’ve hugged him. God I love this movie and I love watching it with my babies so much. Ugh.
I miss my childhood. :’ ((
Same 🥹
Same😢
I remember watching this in the movie theater when I was little, with my dad and my little brother, I remember in this part it made me start to cry, but when it's over I cried all the way to my old house and my mom comfort me, and I never forget that goodbye scene, I still like that movie though.
Still crying over thisss😭😭this movie is fascinating beautiful and sad😭💖✨
I have a sadness shield that keeps out all the sadness, and it's big enough for all of us.
3:34 My brother and I cried together when, max is leaving the island from where the wild things are.
Omg. I love this movie so much. It feels like a dream. Filled with emotions. To whoever didn't watch this movie yet. I would suggest putting it on your to-do list. This movie is just too good for you not to.
I just watch this just now and I'm crying lol
That Movie was a childhood Fever Dream.
This scene still haunts me 12 years later and everytime i get so sad.
I like that the Wild Things in this movie are parts of Max's personality and the people he knew.
When max leaves it made me sad he had to go home and wanted to be where someone loved his best of all . But I’ll always appreciate the movie and book . I’ll remember my mom reading the book to me and my sis when we were little toddlers .
I’ll eat you up I love you so 🥲
The part when judith hugs Alex melts my heart and she's like his mom
This movie reminds me so much that this give me a good childhood where the wild things are 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
This movie always gets me 😭
The book and the movie was amazing and rewatching is such nostalgia 💙
Cried when it released, and i were 7… im 19… still crying over this
This was trippy to watch as a kid and it’s still trippy
This movie scared me so much as a kid. I still have goosebumps
I love Judith! She is my spirit animal! Catherine O’Hara portrayed her perfectly. I also love how she is like a mother figure/big sister to alexander
I just rewatched this today in the middle of the afternoon…. I am not okay
Having to leave is like leaving your childhood, realizing you have to grow up. Realizing not everything goes your way, that it won't always be happy sunshine and rainbows.
I read the book as a kid, so much I'd wish I could live the Wild Things. Love this movie. Cause as we grow up, we sometimes turn into monsters ourselves and forget the love ov what it is to be a child again. HOWL...
People say, that it’s him leaving his childhood and imagination. But why. Why does it have to end. We are all born with a childlike sense of wonder, and then once we grow up, we just stop. We stop exploring. We stop wondering. We simply, stop. So then, why do we do this to ourselves? We are always such in a race to become older and mature and edgy. And once it happens, we want to go back. Have you ever been made fun of for being the least bit childish? Max is about to go into his teenage years, he about 12. Now it’s hard becoming older, because you begin to become scared about what other people will think. Max created these things to have someone that understood him, you’ll see how reality sneaks it’s way into imagination. See, max is unique, nobody gets him, he’s misunderstood. He left his mom because she didn’t understand his feelings. At the beginning you see her on a date drinking wine. She stopped. She forgot what it was like to be in his shoes. So when he ran away he used his childlike imagination to create a world where everyone loved him. But they had problems to. Even in your imagination you cant escape the reality of problems. They were hoping that he would solve their problems. He tried but, he couldn’t. He couldn’t do it on his own. He also needed someone. Someone to solve his problems. When he goes back, maybe his mom might understand him a bit more. Now when things start to fall apart, it’s because he can’t fix all of these problems. No matter what you do you can’t fix everything to be perfect. Everyone wants different things. And if they can’t be compatible, then they can’t be satisfied. Even in your imagination you can’t be satisfied. He begins to miss his mom, and wants to be somewhere where someone loves him most of all. That’s why he tells kw, “I wish you had a mom” . All I’m saying is that, you only get to be a kid for so long, cause eventually life will begin to become harder and more like, reality. You won’t always be able to run away to your imagination when things are bad, or someone doesn’t understand you. As max leaves, Carols world starts to fall apart with Max’s imagination. Everyone is being separated cause they all want different things. All carol wanted was for everyone to be together, but they can’t cause they all have different minds. But, they are all still family. It doesn’t matter if you have different thoughts. Same with max. When his sister doesn’t play with him and his mother doesn’t acknowledge him, all he wants is for them to be together. Carol represents max, and max represents carol. They are one in the same. Carol was excited when max came cause he found someone that understood him. And when max left, it was like he was disappearing cause max was leaving. When carol is talking about the island becoming dust, it’s because max is becoming older. His imagination is fading and so is his innocence. After he leaves, he can never go back.
I see what you are talking about this hole movie is about the importance of imagining and why you should never grow out of it
@@maxsmovies6531 I guess I just mean that you should never let go of the things that made you you, and imagination builds up a lot of you and what kind of person you are
@@domiti9481 Of course it is imagination that has got so many people through the worst of times
@@maxsmovies6531 sure
*When I first watched the movie, I didn't really understand it at all. Years later, I went on a Journey to cure my Leukemia. During my time out in the woods, parks, cemeteries, and others.... I met lots of people - characters like in the movie. From there, I was able to learn a lot and now I appreciate the movie even more. My journey is like a roller coaster and still is as I am writing this post. From mental issues to a life of pains & suffering, to love, to fear, to lost, to schizo, to homelessness, and all of the emotions/mental issues that some of us have to deal with on a daily. Some of the people I met are like the characters in the movie, pretty sad but that is what life is. Some I can't help and some I have to look away from even though it's painful inside. Sad for me to walk away, but I must come first. Who is gonna help me if I fall? It's not only me who needed help, but also the people I met for the past year. I have so much emotional built-in that sometimes it's hard to bear. I'd wish I have a magic wand and wave at some of these people to make their problems go away. But then, I would have to wave it myself and make my "Leukemia" go away too. It really opens up your eyes and mind and the effects that sometimes are hard to bear. If you do not understand this movie... Go on a little journey like me and you shall see it all. It will change you for the better!*
Such a beautiful and magical film. RIP James Gandolfini, you are truly missed.
I remember so much but so little from this movie.
Tony fucking Soprano is in this movie can we appreciate that?
James Gandolfini is amazing as the voice of Carol. Plus, Carol is my favorite Wild Thing. 🙂
I love how cute but also utterly terrifying the monsters are in this movie.
“I’ll eat you up, I love you so” 😭😭😭
I cannot believe that the man who plays tony Soprano in the Sopranos voice carol in this movie. I can't believe im just now finding out about this
That actor is James Gandolfini & he did the voice of Carol. However, James Gandolfini got passed away from a heart attack back in 2013.
I fell in love with all those characters and the ending is so so beautiful when he went into his mum’s embrace and she gazing at him longingly lovingly while he eats until she falls asleep 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️🩹🙏🫂 Life is so precious souls are so precious
damn i almost thought I dreamt this movie the nostalgia
I hope theres a 2022 movie of this
Nah it can never beat this masterpiece
Who just looked this movie up cuz they remember it?

such a beautiful movie. Incredibly moving and sad. This scene is heartbreaking.
This movie makes me cry from start to finish. I’m so sad he didn’t hug the bull.
3:14 the look of regret in his face😢
Can we talk about how tearjerking the background music is? 😢
“Where the wild things are” AKA the first book I ever read through from the beginning to the end.
Max records used to be my cabin leader at outdoorschool in oregon. Crazy when he revealed himself at the end cuz the whole nickname thing they had.
When you first saw Max Records for the first time, what was he like? I bet he still looks the same when he played Max in Where The Wild Things Are.
1:47
Is anyone going to talk about Judith comforting Alexander?
