Where the Wild Things Are, one of the wildest and most memorable picture books ever created, is now a movie full of adventure and mystery - and huge hairy creatures. Follow Max, a rambunctious boy who feels misunderstood at home, as he sets out on a tiny boat seeking new worlds across the sea. He lands on the incredible island of the Wild Things, a place where being a beast isn''t a bad thing. The Wild Things make Max their king, and he reigns over a land of friendly battles, 100 foot tall dogs, enormous forts and amazing chases. But life on the island is full of challenges too. The Wild Things expect a lot of their king, and if he doesn''t please them, there''s a good chance he''ll be eaten. Where the Wild Things Are has sold over 19 million copies worldwide since its original publication in 1963. The winner of the 1964 Caldercott Medal, the story of Max and the Wild Things has become an icon of children''s literature. Now, Spike Jonze brings the magic of Where the Wild Things Are to the big screen.
