“Where the Wild Things Are” is known as an iconic children’s book by author Maurice Sendak, but as most people know, it will soon become a feature film thanks to Spike Jonze. Children of the 80s (like myself) are particularly excited about the book to movie transformation of “Where the Wild Things Are,” so the recently released featurette is more reason for excitement.
The featurette shows Spike Jonze and Maurice Sendak talking about their versions of the book, and how it translated to the screen. I’m even more excited to see the "Where the Wild Things Are" movie now!
