I just watched "Where the Wild Things Are" and I found it disturbing.?

This was one of those books that I adored when I was 6 years old. I practically memorized it, and I couldn't get over the beautiful artwork and wonderfully free story. Then I saw the movie, and it was downright disturbing. The protagonist, Max, is obviously a disturbed, schizoid child who is neglected by his family and goes on a trippy and dark journey to a land of "wild things", where he sees every dark aspect of his life reflected in various characters in large monster suits. When I watched it, I felt strange inside, as if I had watched something that just wasn't right. Nothing was resolved in the movie, both in the life of the kid or in his imaginary world. It was a creepy and dark film that really gave me chills, and not in a good way. Does anybody agree or disagree?
