Visionary director Jonze (BEING JOHN MALKOVICH) brings Maurice Sendak's beloved children's book to the big screen with the help of hipster icon Dave Eggers (AWAY WE GO) as screenwriter.
A mixture of real actors, computer animation and live puppeteering, WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE follows the adventures of young Max (Records) as he enters the world of the Wild Things, a species of strange and enormous creatures who gradually turn the boy into their king.
