Why The New Children's Films Are Unsettling Some Adults
A.O. Scott: "A movie like Where the Wild Things Are or Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox play a kind of reverse dress-up, disguising adult anxieties in the costumes of innocent make-believe and fanciful spectacle. … [T]oo scary for youngsters? Too confusing? Maybe, for some. So is The Wizard of Oz and half the books in the children's section of the library." New York Times 11/08/09
