I came away from the WTWTA preview with a horrible image in my head--Maurice Sendak's classic book in stores with a new cover: Some still photo from the movie and a banner proclaiming: "Now a major motion picture!" It seems as though all of these movies have high production values, but something sad happens when a picture book becomes a movie. When Shrek came out, I read the original William Steig book to my students, and they just sat there and went, "That's it?" The quiet heart of the book/story experience is cut out of it.
