Where The Wild Things Are

Based on the legendary children's book by Maurice Sendak, Where The Wild Thinks Are tells the story of Max, a disobedient little boy who is sent to bed by his mother without any supper. Feeling hurt and unloved, he channels his anger, and instead of continuing his mischievous antics in his room, he creates his own imaginary world, which includes a forest, a massive ocean, and a small boat, which he uses to sail away to a land inhabited by monsters—Wild Things. On the island he meets mysterious and strange creatures whose emotions are as wild and unpredictable as their actions and who are desperately longing for a leader to guide them, just as Max longs for a kingdom to rule. When Max is crowned king, he promises to create a place where everyone will be happy. But Max soon finds that ruling his kingdom is not so easy and his relationships prove to be more complicated than he originally thought. (Gary Reber)
