Ain't It Cool has just posted the impassioned plea of a moviegoer who has seen Spike Jonze's

Where the Wild Things Are

His plea? Save this beautiful movie, before the studio heads decide to dump it and replace it with something stupid!

(Warning: There is some "spoilerish" content in his description of the film.)

Here's an excerpt:

This movie is Fred Savage's grandfather saying "As you wish" at the end of The Princess Bride.

This movie is the look Susan gives to 12-year-old Josh as he walks away at the end of Big.

This movie is River Phoenix fading away at the end of Stand by Me.

This movie is important and special. Spike made this movie for us.

UPDATE: Cinematical has news. The movie has a release date. But which movie will be released? Jonze's? Or some thrown-together replacement?
