Where The Kaiju Are

Apparently my wife wasn't the first person to notice the similarities between "Where The Wild Things Are" and "Godzilla's Revenge." Someone wrote an article on it back when the Wild Things movie adaptation was released:

Is "Where the Wild Things Are" A Modern "Godzilla's Revenge"?

 

Now I just need a Godzilla book written and illustrated by Maurice Sendak.

Godzilla's Revenge

Watched "Godzilla's Revenge" (a.k.a. "All Monsters Attack") with my wife on Netflix Instant tonight. It's the story of a young boy's imaginary adventures on Monster Island. A few minutes into the movie she commented, "This is the Japanese version of Where The Wild Things Are."

I couldn't argue with that, though sadly, by the end, it had transformed into the Japanese version of "Home Alone."

Here's the trailer. It kicks off with the scene that had me yelling, "Godzilla, you need garlic butter for that!" at the television screen.
