Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Hmm, maybe. But I'm afraid it will be another case of Hollywood taking something sweet and simple and blowing up into a 2 hour CGI Crapapalooza. Looking forward to the Happy Meal toys.

Dude, are you serious? Did you see the Wild Things here? Or in this previously sifted vid? These are all live-action beasts. And Hollywood/Happy Meals? Check out Spkie Jonze's IMDB page and let me know if there's anything remotely "Hollywood" or Dirty Ron's-(McDonald's-) worthy. This project seems to be as off-kilter and ass-kicking as the book itself. This sifter is fucking stoked.

I really hope they avoid all the trappings of CGI. Henson had it right all along, but people nowadays fail to understand we want the puppets -- at least I want the puppets. It worked in Labyrinth and The Never Ending Story and The Dark Crystal.

I will buy all the happy meal toys regardless. Decorating my desk at work is the priority.

Mr. Jonze and the people he surrounds himself with are always amazing at making weird ideas a reality, so I'm super-excited
(... watched the HD version at apple.com/trailers/ about 8 times).
