Synopsis
Maurice Sendak's 1963 children's classic WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE is a buoyant celebration of the eternal power of a boy's imagination, and Sendak knew that such imagination would be a necessary prerequisite for anyone hoping to create a film version of his book, which has existed primarily in the wondrous, expansive minds of children since its release. In that time, Sendak patiently fended off studios and directors clamoring for the movie rights to his book, until he found his dream team of creativity--filmmaker Spike Jonze, author Dave Eggers, and the puppetry wizards at Jim Henson Studios. Jonze, Eggers and their cast and crew were faced with the daunting task of creating a feature-length film from a beloved book which is only ten sentences long. The magic of how they rose to this challenge and beyond, without relying heavily on computer-generated images, is documented in this dazzling coffee table book, which is saturated with fascinating facts, full-color photos and unique insights about the making of the film.
