Say What? Where the Grouchy Things Are

"I would tell them to go to hell. That's a question I will not tolerate."

— Maurice Sendak, author of the classic children's book-turned-movie Where the Wild Things Are, when asked "What do you say to parents who think the Wild Things film may be too scary?" I guess this is artistic integrity, but it's kind of a valid question, no? Unless it's simply not a children's movie . . .
