It was certainly melancholy, but it captures the mood of Max as he escapes from his mother I liked the film.

For me the interesting comparison is obviously with the Fantastic Mr Fox which many critics disliked because it seemed to be stuffed with things only adults will get. But as a kid, I loved trying to get what the adults got (and we aren't really talking sexual innuendo here), and wanted to read adult books as soon as I could. Thus FMF works well as a silly diversion for adults, and as an aspirational adventure for kids. With Foxes. As long as it stays within three paragraphs, yes.

My Alice piece originally had a digression-disquisition on through-portal kidlit: Max is Alice, Where the Wild Things Are is Wonderland; but where the moral of Alice is "Uneasy Lies the Head that Wears a Throne" BECAUSE EVERYTHING GROWN-UP IS VERY VERY SILLY. Wheras WtwtA sez: you will get to be an grown-up too one day; and you find you will need mumbots. Actually I should really write this digression up shouldn't I?
