Tom Hanks is a cool guy, and I love that they've chosen to use physical costumes instead of CG, and even the song in this trailer ("Wake Up" by The Arcade Fire) is awesome. But this movie should not be. Why can't we just leave classic books alone?
Previous picture books-turned-movies produced by Tom Hanks: "The Ant Bully" and "The Polar Express." Ugh.
A bunch of friends have linked to this recently saying how cool it looks, but I only just watched it. I knew a movie was in the works for some time, but this doesn't look like a kids' movie, even.
Yeah, after my original link broke down and I went searching for a new one, I found a bunch of sites saying the same thing. Having formed my opinion before hearing anyone else's, all I can say is, "Eww."
Produced by Tom Hanks?
