@@thadz2493. It’s confusing and it deals with existential crisis of one of the monsters that fears being left out and alone and abandoned by his family. He also tears off one of the other monsters arm right off.
This fucking movie legitimately, fully freaked me out when I watched it in school as a kid. It frightened me in ways horror movies didn't. Something about the way you couldn't fully trust the monsters, ever, and how the boy acted, the dark tones... idk.
It's not supposed to be dark, and it isn't. I dare say it's more realistic than most. The monsters represent Max's emotions, their erratic behaviour represents his own. Movies tend to paint childhood as pure and perfect, which adults tend to forget it isn't.

I was honestly obsessed and terrified of this movie as a kid. Especially where the bird dude got his arm ripped off and kw ate max. Plus this was my first emotional movie with the ending.
I remember parents being absolutely PISSED when they brought there kids to watch this when it came out and now I’m seeing those same kids talk about how terrified they were to see it. I’m so happy 😂

Problem with adaptations is that it's making something from one medium act like it was made for another, which it isn't. Imagine a TV show that consists entirely of text to be more like a book. Or a videogame with no options to be more like a movie. It's what makes Alita Battle angel feel clunky and the first star trek movie drawn out.
I took my older kid to watch this when it first came out. I remember thinking "well this is really a kid's movie for adults, huh". Later that night I met my younger kid's dad. Later still, I discovered that my former bestie was actually one of the monster actors in this. Odd couple of coincidences for me, my guy.
Maybe because it’s a depressing and nihilistic movie that turned a simple children’s book about a kid who goes to a magical land, decides to leave then comes home into an analysis of depression and the inevitability of death
One of the best ever childhood movies I watched growing up...it's so deep and emotional, hence why many people don't understand and hate on it. If you know, you know. You have to relate to Max to understand the movie.
I feel like I'm one of the few people that liked this movie. It's not a movie for kids, it's a movie about childhood. Yeah Max is selfish, but all little kids are. It's a representation of him trying to figure out the world and other people.
I liked it when I saw it in theatres. I was 22-23 at the time, though. It seems most people commenting that they didn't like it were 9 or younger at its release.
As a kid i loved this movie and to this day i still do and now i finally know why, i have md (maladaptive daydreaming) and this movie reminds me of it, its about a kid who is unsatisfied with his life and escapes to his mind and lives in his daydreams with monsters who care and love for him, i was like this as a kid i was disconnected from reality and was unhappy with my life without even be old enough to understand that, i created a world in my head full of beautiful forests trails and roads, creatures big and small and castles filled with amazing people to meet who were my friends, and i loved this world and all the people in it with all my heart and soul but, i felt as if i had no connection or love for real life at all, i was so sad and miserable that the only thing that really brought me any happiness or any emotion at all really was being in this make believe world in my head just like this kid, i was able to get past this stage of my life but still struggle to fully immerse myself into real life without wanting to escape to my daydreams but ive gotten better at handing my md and love my life now, i can definitely honestly say this movie resonates with me and has always had a place in my heart truly this movie is a one of a kind masterpiece. also sorry for my terrible grammar and spelling :,)
yeah didnt know it had a movie and people watched this when they were kids apparently...which made me look up when the book was made and it was in the 60's like holy shit i was expecting 80's or 90's but damn the books is old i read it when i was 6 at my nans house and apparently my mum read it as a kid aswell like damn god
As much as CinemaSins hates kids, I am starting to think CinemaSins has never had kids or will have kids. Hell, I am starting to question if the writers even were kids. I now believe CinemaSins was birthed fully formed from the head of Martin Scorsese after a 12 hour make out session with Rob Schneider.
you somehow successfully wrote a comment insulting the writters of cinemasins while sounding exactly like cinemasins. and yes I see the irony but you should be proud i think thats talent.
this movie scared the SHIT out of me as a kid i’m 14 now and those weird ass creatures still scare me now. Spent the last 20 minutes trying to find this movie and at one point i thought it didn’t exist and my mind was bugging. Gives me a weird, scary nostalgia.
3:00 i graduated just in 2020 and i can testify my schools all the way to graduation had signs exactly like that scattered in every class, hallway, and bathroom. Surprised they didn’t send us home with a cassette to listen to while we sleep with all of those bs words in it hoping that’d be what finally ingrained it into our stupid little kid brains
I used to play a game called "Kill the Carrier" where the literal goal was just to tackle and force the ball out from the kid with the ball. I assume that's what they were playing.
That thumbnail poster art looks like a Banana Splits reject leading a kid off to get a "special backstage access pass" I can't be the only one who remembers that show from Boomerang.
@@antoinettemosley312 I was taking a guess to assume most people on here didn't watch the original run (my parents did), and like me, only got to see it in its many many reruns (for me, that was around 8-9am in the morning on TV, since it was a timeslot filler for the hours when most kids were at school, therefore my memories of it are mostly an amalgamation of fever dreams).
Between the sleep pile scene and the stomach scene (not to mention how freaking dark this movie is), this movie I think legitimately is the reason for my claustrophobia.
I remember watching this in the theater when I was like 8 or 9 and then absolutely SOBBING my eyes out when max had to leave the wild things and go back home. I just watched it for the first time in about 13 years and I still don't know why I was crying so hard at the time. I mean it was sad but.... damn💀
Someone in school forgot the title of this movie and tried to describe it, and everyone thought he was crazy except me. That literally shows how insane this movie is.
You know, as I think about it again, this movie reminded me of the therapist in What About Bob, who tried to use puppets to speak to his kids. This is the sort of movie a therapist would make or use to talk about emotional control.
I watched this in theatre as a school trip, I don’t remember feeling scared. But uneasy how quickly Max and the other things emotions switched so quickly
This is one of those movies that feels like they never existed, almost like a fever dream
I barely remembered it but The book was good
That's a perfect description of my experience with this movie

Ah shit, my childhood!-
I took my older kid to watch this when it first came out. I remember thinking "well this is really a kid's movie for adults, huh".
Later that night I met my younger kid's dad.
Later still, I discovered that my former bestie was actually one of the monster actors in this.
Odd couple of coincidences for me, my guy.
@I think I'm Happy i agree
@I think I'm Happy Don't be rude
WOMAN FEED ME
obviously hes been learning from his dad. Also, thats hilarious coming from a kid.
This movie gives me anxiety and I don't know why.
Maybe because it’s a depressing and nihilistic movie that turned a simple children’s book about a kid who goes to a magical land, decides to leave then comes home into an analysis of depression and the inevitability of death
It probably reminds you of old emotions you'd rather not remember
In my case I know why, this shit strait up traumatized me as a kid, can’t look at these fucking doll monsters without getting anxiety
I haven't seen this movie since long before my parents divorced. This hits a bit different now.
I remember this movie scared me as a kid when he ripped the bird creatures arm off
was i the only one who was comforted by the monsters as a kid?
One of the best ever childhood movies I watched growing up...it's so deep and emotional, hence why many people don't understand and hate on it. If you know, you know. You have to relate to Max to understand the movie.
yup, it kinda makes me like it even more. this movie wasn’t made for the masses, just those who understand💗
Yup. Apparently even the author of the original book loved this movie. I loved this movie too
I feel like I'm one of the few people that liked this movie. It's not a movie for kids, it's a movie about childhood. Yeah Max is selfish, but all little kids are. It's a representation of him trying to figure out the world and other people.
I liked it when I saw it in theatres. I was 22-23 at the time, though. It seems most people commenting that they didn't like it were 9 or younger at its release.
Note: watched this on dvd in a room with about 6 other people in their mid 20s and they all hated it.
How could anyone dislike this, there’s nothing bad about it at all.
Bruh the movie is great don't let CS and this comments make you feel bad because you like this movie
@OEMishGarage i was 9 when i saw this in theaters with my dad and we both loved it.
This movie honestly creeped me out, and the book was nightmares for me.
What was the book like?
SAME
This movie is creepy af
I was literally talking about this movie the other day with some friends of mine about how terrifying the scene of Carol trying to eat Max was
fr
It’s not scary when you watch it on your tv
Cinemas play a low frequency which causes fear
@@Combustive_cheese576 Nah fam I did watch it on my TV at home lol
As a kid i loved this movie and to this day i still do and now i finally know why, i have md (maladaptive daydreaming) and this movie reminds me of it, its about a kid who is unsatisfied with his life and escapes to his mind and lives in his daydreams with monsters who care and love for him, i was like this as a kid i was disconnected from reality and was unhappy with my life without even be old enough to understand that, i created a world in my head full of beautiful forests trails and roads, creatures big and small and castles filled with amazing people to meet who were my friends, and i loved this world and all the people in it with all my heart and soul but, i felt as if i had no connection or love for real life at all, i was so sad and miserable that the only thing that really brought me any happiness or any emotion at all really was being in this make believe world in my head just like this kid, i was able to get past this stage of my life but still struggle to fully immerse myself into real life without wanting to escape to my daydreams but ive gotten better at handing my md and love my life now, i can definitely honestly say this movie resonates with me and has always had a place in my heart truly this movie is a one of a kind masterpiece.
also sorry for my terrible grammar and spelling :,)
Me, who knew the book since childhood: Wait there’s a movie?! 👁👄👁
yeah didnt know it had a movie and people watched this when they were kids apparently...which made me look up when the book was made and it was in the 60's like holy shit i was expecting 80's or 90's but damn the books is old i read it when i was 6 at my nans house and apparently my mum read it as a kid aswell like damn god
This whole movie feels like a fever dream
As much as CinemaSins hates kids, I am starting to think CinemaSins has never had kids or will have kids. Hell, I am starting to question if the writers even were kids. I now believe CinemaSins was birthed fully formed from the head of Martin Scorsese after a 12 hour make out session with Rob Schneider.
you somehow successfully wrote a comment insulting the writters of cinemasins while sounding exactly like cinemasins. and yes I see the irony but you should be proud i think thats talent.
That was a disturbingly specific set of imagery you portrayed there.
Is ... there something you want to share with the rest of the class?
You deserve an Oscar or a grammy
Actually, judging from “Everything Wrong With Happy Feet”, CinemaSins actually DOES have kids.
Best comment yet.
this movie scared the SHIT out of me as a kid i’m 14 now and those weird ass creatures still scare me now. Spent the last 20 minutes trying to find this movie and at one point i thought it didn’t exist and my mind was bugging. Gives me a weird, scary nostalgia.
3:00 i graduated just in 2020 and i can testify my schools all the way to graduation had signs exactly like that scattered in every class, hallway, and bathroom. Surprised they didn’t send us home with a cassette to listen to while we sleep with all of those bs words in it hoping that’d be what finally ingrained it into our stupid little kid brains
this is basically sesame street on acid
I used to play a game called "Kill the Carrier" where the literal goal was just to tackle and force the ball out from the kid with the ball. I assume that's what they were playing.
They were playing snowball fight but with dirt clods, because there is no snow
@@queenfopsie5442 not that game. The other game.
I wish I didn’t know about this movie
Apparently many people didn't...
th-cam.com/video/FiXUvXRBzPg/w-d-xo.html what movie link called
here guys th-cam.com/video/tvM8Ri0SWzE/w-d-xo.html
@Nathan Martinez don't even bother with that guy. He keeps posting the same link in the comments.
@Nathan Martinez that's right
6:52 Is Max old enough to have graduated from the Prometheus school of running away from things?
Damn, I remember going to see this in the cinema on a school trip and everyone made fun of me for crying 😂
“Expecting a fence to go two different directions” I lost it 😂
missed a prime opportunity to say, "thaaat's fencist"
That thumbnail poster art looks like a Banana Splits reject leading a kid off to get a "special backstage access pass"
I can't be the only one who remembers that show from Boomerang.
LOL I'm old enough to remember when it originally came out LOL
@@antoinettemosley312 I was taking a guess to assume most people on here didn't watch the original run (my parents did), and like me, only got to see it in its many many reruns (for me, that was around 8-9am in the morning on TV, since it was a timeslot filler for the hours when most kids were at school, therefore my memories of it are mostly an amalgamation of fever dreams).
@@colmoe I understood I was just making fun of myself. I don't even understand why they don't play the things on Boomerang like they used to
That was that creepy show where men would dress in these gigantic animal costumes.
I mean more people might be aware of it now given that there was the horror movie from 2019 LOL
The Truman Show reference made my day. That movie and Groundhog Day are the best.
i really liked this movie, i was surprised when i searched it up and only found hate on it
Literally everyone has read this book. It has more memories than like half of the Julia Donaldsons for me.
I have not.
I didn't cause imma be real with you I hate books the only books I've read was by R.L. stein
I'm german, we had something like Struwwelpeter instead
I remember this movie. At the end it turns out he was hallucinating on an operating table in Vietnam during the war the whole time.
I forgot that part
This movie is much more darker to me now than when I first saw it as a child
This brought back so much nostalgia..
I loved this movie, i thought the monsters were cute but the boy was the scary one!!
EXACTLY
In the end of the day were all our Inner Wild Child.
Stop the cap
@@guccigoose1595 Stop being "that guy" who says that lame shit
@@Chara_Dreemurr001 stop being that guy who spells shit wrong and thinks its funny dreamer* fixed it for ya, buzzkillington.
@@justsomeguy1136 Stop being that guy who corrects peoples grammar in the comments.
@@TheConer stop being that guy
I just got nostalgiad half to death
I know right
this was the only movie i used to watch as a kid
I get the feeling of nostalgia and the fact I loved the movie yet I can't remember anything about the movie at all
@@MythicaIl yea, me too
Same
Gotta get that Bruce Almighty moon in each CinemaSins video anyway possible . 😂
Between the sleep pile scene and the stomach scene (not to mention how freaking dark this movie is), this movie I think legitimately is the reason for my claustrophobia.
I remember watching this in the theater when I was like 8 or 9 and then absolutely SOBBING my eyes out when max had to leave the wild things and go back home. I just watched it for the first time in about 13 years and I still don't know why I was crying so hard at the time. I mean it was sad but.... damn💀
I just watched this today and omg I cried so hard to maybe because I’m an empath and I just felt all the emotion through the screen you know .
Remember watching this in Kindergarten with My whole class and being like "What the heck is going on!?" Shit was dark, the book was nice though imo
The book was good but the movie was a disaster
How dare you bring back my suppressed memory of this godforsaken "movie"
Its been forever since I have seen this movie
This movie is really good why are people putting it down so much
@@Borganov20 it's just sad
Everything wrong with Lady and the Tramp (2019 - Live Action)
Stop the cap
Oh shit, I actually forgot that movie existed LMAO
wait thats a movie?
They made... A live action version??
The fact that nobody knows a live action film was even made speaks volumes.
Please tell me i wasn't the only one that found this movie aesthetic and beautiful and maybe a bit scary and now i find it so funny and nostalgic!
Someone in school forgot the title of this movie and tried to describe it, and everyone thought he was crazy except me. That literally shows how insane this movie is.
My parents showed me this when I was a kid and I can honestly say it has scarred me for the rest of my life 😭
I just remember Douglas' arm getting ripped off as a kid and laughing my ass off for like 10 minutes.
I absolutely despised this movie. Max needed mental help in this movie, which was NOT really what he was in the book.
You know, as I think about it again, this movie reminded me of the therapist in What About Bob, who tried to use puppets to speak to his kids. This is the sort of movie a therapist would make or use to talk about emotional control.
Yes he did wasn’t as blatantly obvious as it is in the movie
I watched this in theatre as a school trip, I don’t remember feeling scared. But uneasy how quickly Max and the other things emotions switched so quickly
This movie made me so viscerally uncomfortable the first time I watched it
