Movies R Fun!: A Collection of Cinematic Classics for the Pre-(Film) School Cinephile Hardcover – Feb. 25 2014
by
Josh Cooley
(Author)
Let's face it, reading sucks . . . but movies are fun! In this children's picture book parody for grown-ups, Pixar writer and artist Josh Cooley presents the most hilariously inappropriate-that is, the best-scenes from contemporary classic films in an illustrated, for-early-readers style. Terrifying, sexy, and awesome scenes from such favorite films as Alien, Rosemary's Baby, Fargo, Basic Instinct, Seven, The Silence of the Lambs, Apocalypse Now, The Shining, and many more are playfully illustrated and captioned to make reading fun and exciting for kids who never grew up. A sly celebration of the things fans love most about these legendary films (and movies in general), this is one book that probably should not be read at bedtime.

I saw this book advertised in the new maxim magazine and bought it right away! I was not disappointed with the book as it illustrates moments from 50 of my favourite movies with a children's novel flair! Not much to read here, but definitely a fun book to have sitting out!

Excelente.

Llevaba ya vario tiempo buscándolo, cuando lo vi aquí no dude en comprarlo, la calidad de materiales es buena, la pasta dura. El único inconveniente con el que me topé es que son solo frases de las películas, no hay una secuencia de dos o tres imagenes, eso quizá hubiera sido un factor de compra. Eso sí, no me arrepiento.

One of the many annoying things about being a parent is the interminable wait for your offspring to grow old enough to share in the joy of watching your favorite movies. The years creep by, and eventually they'll be able to sit still long enough for 'Star Wars' and 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'...but what about your R-rated favorites? 'Alien, Clockwork Orange, Goodfellas, Jaws' and 'The Godfather'...
When, oh when, can your kids enjoy those classics?
The answer is NOW, baby!
This exquisite parody of a Little Golden Book is a perfect way to introduce the young'uns to those previously forbidden scenes of sex, violence and hillbilly rapists!
On second thought...maybe you'd better keep this one hidden away from the kiddies, or you'll have a lot of 'splainin' to do.

what a brilliant idea!

If you love iconic movies and the classic one liners that represent them, then this will have you in stitches.
It's a simple premise. To take iconic scenes from movie classics and put them in a kid friendly cartoon medium with the one liners as a children's book narrative, and the results are hilarious.
I'll be recommending this to everyone I know.
