Based on the children’s book by author Maurice Sendak (a childhood favourite of mine), the film version of Where The Wild Things Are extrapolates on the characters and situations presented in it due to the book featuring sparse text, but many detailed pictures.

Max (Max Records) is a young boy with an overactive imagination and like all young boys, a desire for attention and an irrational temper. Jealous of the attention received by his mother’s new boyfriend, Max rebels and runs away from home, finding a boat and sailing to a seemingly nearby island. The motley crew of enlarged animal-like creatures he finds, (referred to as the ‘Wild Things’) crown him their king, but as Max finds out, it’s inherently hard to please everyone at the same time.
