'Where the Wild Things Are' May Have Been Inspired By Hotel Fox
There's a neat little blog out there called We Love You So, which has a tie to the "Where The Wild Things Are" movie. Here's the blog "About" section:
The film represents years of work from hundreds of different artists, writers, photographers, musicians, actors, and creators of all degrees.
This place has been established to help shed some light on many of the small influences that converged to make this massive project a reality.
So you know we got excited when we saw the blog post this item about the Hotel Fox in Copenhagen.
The story behind Hotel Fox is that it was once an aging hotel that Volkswagen (yes, VW) decided to spruce up by hiring 21 artists, graphic designers, street artists, illustrators and the like to decorate the hotel's 61 rooms. Each artist was given license to create whatever they wanted in their own personal style.
We Love You So particularly liked the room titled "Sleep Seasons" by Australian design collective, Rinzen.
Who doesn’t want to hibernate in a big comfy tent, surrounded by adorable woodland forest creatures?
Considering that is exactly what Max does with the Wild Things it's no surprise this room may have inspired the movie makers. Also, given that it's winter and raining right now, we wouldn't mind curling up in a tent for a few days either.
This room, #121, is in the Medium room category (there's extra-large, large and small.) Rates start at around 731 DKK for a medium room (or $138) and there's no guarantee that the hotel will be able to give you your requested room. We say peruse the hotel's Hotel Fox carefully for rooms you may not want. (We'd probably stay in any of them.)
