Wild Things
Spike Jonze has just made (and released, to mixed reviews) a movie version of the children's book Where The Wild Things Are. Early word has it that the film isn't really, y'know, for kiddies. Clearly amused by all of this, New York magazine has a list up of 12 Controversy-Causing Kids' Movies - or, as they put it: "...child-targeted movies that were bad, too visionary, or, in a few cases, too racist for their own good."
The list includes The Black Cauldron, which I remember quite enjoying as a child. Trouble was, I was a bit of a bookworm (first proper book I read was the book of The Secret Of NIMH, which I was five), so I insisted on reading the books of The Black Cauldron too. Very, very different to the movie, is all I'm gonna say 'bout that.
