Talk:Where the Wild Things Are (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- I've removed the very strange cast list. I don't see this on the web, only Catherine Keener is mentioned (I don't think they've done much casting beyond that yet). Unless a source for this info is given... --Etacar11 03:34, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

In case anyone are interested in where it says suitmation and animatronics are involved in the movie:
Two guys named John Nolan and Adam Keenan are responsibel for the animatronics parts; 1 and 2.
As for the suitmation; Take a swim on the wild side
"The seven creatures stand up to 275 centimetres tall. Although made of foam, they are heavy and hot for the actors and stunt doubles operating them. Word is they wear them with the head on for no more than 30 minutes at a time, with 10 and 15-minute breaks in front of an air-conditioner.
"They're earning their money, don't you worry," a production source said. A "war games" scene had been particularly tiring, he added. "On the hot days, they're losing up to three or four kilograms."
Comedian Sam Longely, US basketballer Luc Longley's brother, is more than two metres tall and inhabits the largest creature. Heavy boots inside the suit and massive clawed hands make it difficult to move.
It is a live action film, but a sizeable portion - believed to include the character's faces - will be computer-generated." 193.217.195.244 14:43, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
