Crap... I think this is another case of adults not realizing how children won't notice it being scary, when adults do. I mean, think about it. In the book, the monsters want to eat Max, doesn't that seem a bit scary? Maybe it will be worse when drawn out into a 5 minute song on the topic, actually, it will certainly be worse, but I was talking about worse in terms of scariness, but it still won't be too scary for kids.

uh they managed to get the fantastical feel of it absolutely right so did yo maybe see a different trailer
Inlander:
I saw a trailer that ended with something like all the monsters and Max standing in the sunshine taking in a grand vista with their fists in the air like they were all shouting "YEAH!" while the Arcade Fire built up to a rousing and heartstring-tugging climax and it scared the hell out of me.

Again, it's been far too long since I've read this book but isn't this basically what the book was about.
Inlander:
It all depends on the tone of the film. The book was something that kids either loved, or it scared the fuck out of them (or their parents). If the film can perform a similar trick I'll be happy, but the trailer makes it look decidedly unambiguous.
Basically what I'm saying is that the book was a "dangerous" and "subversive" book. From what little we've been shown the film does not look like a "dangerous" and "subversive" film.
