It's About Time For A Little Audio Rumpus Mar 07, 2010
I saw the movie of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE when it came out in theatres in October 2009. I thought the film was a solid adaptation and expansion that remained true to the spirit of the original story by Maurice Sendak. There are some very impressive visuals in the movie, but for me the thing I remembered most was the music. The movie soundtrack features original (mostly) songs by Karen O and the Kids. Before seeing the movie, I had never heard of Karen O, but apparently she's the lead vocalist for a band called the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and I might check out some of their work now because I was so impressed by her vocals on WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. The tracks on this album are a perfect compliment to the film. The songs capture the vibrant enthusiasm, youthful energy, and childlike questioning that is at the heart of the tone and mood of the movie. I have some favorite tracks on the album, including "Igloo", "All Is Love", "Capsize", "Building All Is Love", and "Sailing Home". However, all of the songs flow quite well together; they're more akin to movements than separate pieces, and you can listen to the entire album without realizing that you've heard 14 different tunes. Children, especially those who have seen the film, will probably enjoy the album, but there's a lot here that adults will appreciate perhaps even more.

My daughter's favorite CD Feb 11, 2010
My daughter begged for this for Christmas - and was not disappointed. She has practically worn the CD out. Really interesting stuff.

Even Better Than the Flick Jan 21, 2010
Well, my 10 yr old and I saw this movie over the 2009 Xmas vacation, and emerged from the theatre quite bedazzled, the musical themes still sounding in our ears. Soon after, we visited friends at cape Schanck, on the southern tip of mainland Australia and they indicated where the location for the movie was on adjacent Bushrangers Bay. And, what a spot! The perfect scene for the Wild Things worried world. Inspite of childhood years in similar T-tree underbrush I'd never transposed Sendak's tale to these environs. The film clearly thrilled my daughter, as it would have me at her age. But its the soundtrack that remains playing between my ears. It's brilliantly enmeshed with the moods of the film and yet bouyant enough to stand alone. Well done Karen O and the Kids!
