A good adaptation

This was a good animated short, which made a pretty decent adaptation of the Maurice Sendak story "Where the Wild Things Are", being quite faithful to the plot from the original book.

It also had a very pleasant animation style which captured perfectly well the whimsical beauty of the illustrations done by Maurice Sendak.

The only thing that I didn't like very much was the narration, which in my opinion didn't go very well with the overall tone of the plot. While I don't think that it was necessarily bad, the voice of the narrator didn't feel adequate for this kind of story.

Other than that, this was something fairly enjoyable to watch, being an appropriate animation for the whole family.
