Six years ago I wrote a nostalgic post about Weston Woods and their filmstrips which we watched in grade school. The release of Spike Jonze’s movie version of “Where the Wild Things Are” brought to mind their animated version of the book. I dug up the Weston Woods version on YouTube. The visuals are actually animated, not just from a camera panning over the book illustrations. The Academic Film Archive of North America website has pages on Weston Woods founder Morton Schindel and animator Gene Deitch who directed this adaptation of “Where the Wild Things Are” (Deitch also created the Tom Terrific series for Captain Kangaroo). The film took five years to complete; Deitch blames author Maurice Sendak’s requests for changes. Peter Schickele, known also as P.D.Q. Bach, composed the music and serves as narrator.
