"Maurice Sendak Interview"

I would recommend this to anyone who remembers seeing it as a child. My only complaint is that the Nutshell Kids cartoon included seems to be a cut-down version of the film Really Rosie which I would have loved to have seen again in it's entirety. I find it slightly amusing that some people are so offended by the sight of the little boy's winkie in the Night Kitchen film. If you watch the Maurice Sendak interview included in the special features he explains that he wrote the story remembering that as a child he would sneak around his own house at night in the nuddy. I mean, who's never done that? Personally I'm not a huge fan of that film anyway but the world's got a bit too sensitive if you ask me.

I loved this! It really brought me back to my childhood.
The Night Kitchen was a little embarassing to watch with kids, and I wasn't sure what their reaction to "I don't care" would be, but they were fine with it.
Although I could be wrong, I think these cartoons would have a tough time making it in today's world, but the fact remains these were a part of growing up, and I love having them back in my life.

I can't wait to own the entire Scholastic Collection, especially at these great prices. My daughter absolutely loves the stories.
"Where the Wild Things Are and Other Stories DVD"
2008-06-11
- Reviewed By User: AZQDPT8LJE099
This is an excellent video for young children. The narrations for `Where the Wild Things Are' and `The Night Kitchen' are outstanding and so is the music. I will never read `Chicken Soup with Rice' again without hearing the song in my head.
The short at the end with Maurice Sendak is an interesting snapshot of the author at the time it was made.
About the quality of the recording: Remember this video was intended to be used after the book has been read (and reread hopefully) to your children. There are no CGI effects, it's mostly animated drawings from the books and since it looks like the DVD was made from converting the old Betamax version to DVD the quality is not digital so don't attempt to adjust you set that's just the way it is. The original sound recordings were analog too and it doesn't sound like it was a digital remix so the sound is not of digital quality either. Other than that, the quality of the DVD is good.
A warning: The boy in the story The Night Kitchen is anatomically correct so don't be surprised when he loses his clothes and jumps into the milk. The story doesn't make an issue of it, it's just there. Today this might get an 'R' rating or at least a PG-13 for nudity.
In summation: This is a great follow-up experience video for any child (or adult for that matter) who has read and loves the Sendak stories.
"Not for the classroom or children under the age of 18"
I recently purchased this DVD for my 3rd grade classroom. Thank goodness I previewed it before I showed it to my students. In the very last story, "In the Night Kitchen" the narrator speaks about a boy losing his clothes. Then, in the annimation portion, they show the boy naked floating through the air. Last but not least, the illustration is a vivid drawing of his private parts. I was shocked to say the least. More than likely, my job would be on the line if I had not previewed it beforehand. I wouldn't even let my 10 year old daughter watch it now.
Before watching this DVD, I could not imagine how it could do justice to the wonderful books on which it is based. After watching it (with my two year old) I am totally enchanted. What a lovely, magical collection of little films. Will be gifting this one widely in the future.
