When I went to see Harry Potter, a couple previews came on. These previews were of two of my favorite childhood books. "Where the Wild Things Are" and "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs". I was so excited to see that film makers are trying to get these classic books out there for the new generation of kids. Unfortunately it takes a movie to get these stories to kids these days. I remember being about seven years old sitting in the middle of the library rug reading Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and coming up with the "movie" on my own. I didn't need help from a big shot company like Pixar, but don't get me wrong I personally love Pixar films. I guess what I'm trying to say is that kids these days are told what to imagine instead of coming up with it on their own. If we keep going at this rate, the only thing future generations will have to look forward to will be something quite like "Idiocracy".
