Damn it! I didn't want to see Where the Wild Things Are go PG.

There's a Cabin Fever 2? I assume Eli Roth isn't involved?

@rolling_streetcar:

What else would "Where the Wild Things Are" be rated? Unless you're talking about PG as opposed to G. Because there's absolutely no way the movie could ever garner a PG-13… ever. There's just nothing in the book, even when drawn out across 2 hours, that merits a PG-13. The monsters aren't nearly scary enough; in fact, they become Max's friends.

I remember there were some Golden Compass fans who insisted the movie had to be rated R, citing specific incidents from the book. But then the movie showed those exact incidents in detail and still pulled a PG-13 easily. Some fans are bit overeager to wish a high rating upon a film adaptation.

Of course, if you meant that you wanted it to get a G rating, then it's all good. That's something sensible to wish for, though I wouldn't have seen that happening, either.
