If you watch Where the Wild Things Are online, you might feel like you've traveled back in time. Children everywhere have grown up with this story, originally a book by Maurice Sendak, and now they'll have the chance to see it as a movie.
The story stars a boy named Max, who has been sent to his room - banished to bed without supper. Max is transported from his yard to an island where a group of seven Wild Things make Max their ruler.
It is worth it to watch Where the Wild Things Are online because of the glorious visual integration of CGI, animatronics, suitronics, and live action. After one particularly mischievous night, Max is sent to bed by his mother, played by Catherine Keener.
Max, running from his mother, crosses a fence, and finds a boat. From there he sails away. After awhile he reaches an island inhabited by The Wild Things, seven friendly monsters led by Carol, played by James Gandolfini.
The Wild Things declare Max their ruler. Others in the cast include Catherine O'Hara, Lauren Ambrose, Mark Ruffalo, and Forest Whitaker. It would have been made into a movie in the early 1990s but Maurice Sendak couldn't find a director he really wanted to work with.
Sendak later found Spike Jonze, director of Being John Malkovich, and ended up offering the job to him. In 2005, Jonze and Dave Eggers finished writing a full-length screenplay based on the book, which is only 10 sentences long. Though it took a long time for the book to be made into a movie, when you watch Where the Wild Things Are online, you'll be transported back to a time when you might have wanted to be ruler of the Wild Things. - 29968
