Do you know what The Blot sees every time I look at this new Where the Wild Things Are teaser promo movie poster? Sweetums from the Muppets! I know I must sound like a broken record, but why did Jim Henson not make this movie 20 years ago!?! Henson wouldn’t have needed the “high tech” special effects Spike Jonze is utilizing to make Where the Wild Things Are. Back in the day all Henson needed was fabric, foam and lots and lots of fake hair/fur. Heck, Sweetums could have even starred in Where the Wild Things Are as either Tzippy, Moishe or Aaron. Did anyone else know that Sweetums first debuted over 30 years ago in 1971’s The Frog Prince? 
Where the Wild Things Are premieres in theaters on Friday, October 16, 2009.
