Marty Krofft Uses Where The Wild Things Are To Explain the Upcoming Pufnstuf Movie
Posted on Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 by Brendon Connelly
Marty Krofft has a vision for the upcoming H.R Pufnstuf movie and it might sound a little familiar to fans of Spike Jonze’ Where the Wild Things Are. Galvanized by the box office success of the Sendak adaptation, Krofft is pushing for similar man-in-suit technology to bring his lollopping great characters to life. Sounds good to me.
On the other hand, he’s not looking to strike the same melancholy chords as Wild Things but something altogether more sugar and spice. I’m not sure sweetness is worth a great deal without at least a little of something savoury, and I’m even less sure it will work at the box office.
