I saw Where The Wild Things Are this past weekend. I don't know how much children can really understand the more metaphorical aspects of the movie but either way, it is visually stunning. One of the things that I love the most about the movie is the kitschy handmade feel created by all the wooden elements and scribbly lettering. It's unusual for a director to really care about the extraneous materials outside of the film but Spike Jonze worked closely with Geoff McFetridge to set up a style-guide for marketing materials and it definitely payed off.
"...this is a handmade film, make everything feel handmade.' Things that are handmade are made with love, they're made with care, they're made by groups of individuals."
