Where the Wild Things Are Comes to the iPhone
The classic children's book Where the Wild Things Are has been turned into a movie due in theaters next week. The promotional iPhone app is something that your kids may enjoy quite a lot. (iTunes link)
The app lets you listen to the movie's sound track, see photos, watch trailers and best of all - interact with an on-screen image of the monster Carol. Carol can be tickled, hit, he'll throw things at you, you can put him to sleep at night and he'll eat photos of the contacts on your phone.
It's a fun, free little app and is probably going to be very effective in convincing the kids that try it that the movie is a must-see. Parents familiar with the book probably didn't need any convincing.
Either way, there's something I think all of us can enjoy about listening to Karen O sing in the background while watching a big cuddly monster eat photos of people we know from our phone.

Why is this app not available in the Canadian iTunes store??? I mean really this geo-retarding thing is getting more than a little ridiculous. The movie comes out the same time here.
Not available in the New Zealand app store either. WTF?
Nor UK.
They still don't get this whole interweb thing, do they?
real pity. they need to make global deals for usage. the world is global. it's like saying you can download it on 5th Avenue, but not on Madison till next week.
sad.
Kids are not the only ones who will enjoy this.
You can make him dance by playing music, you can make him fall down by shaking the phone, he will also eat OR stomp on photos, you can throw things at him - and if you throw too many things at him, well, you'll just have to wait and see.
this app is AWESOME.
I can't find the application itself. :(
