Where the Wild Things Are is an upcoming 2009 fantasy film by Spike Jonze. It is a live-action adaptation of the Maurice Sendak 1963 children’s book of the same name. The book is about the wild adventure of a boy named Max who is sent to his room without his supper by his mother as punishment for talking back. Max wears a distinctive wolf suit during his adventures and encounters various mythical creatures, the “wild things”. Although just ten sentences long, the book is generally regarded as a masterpiece of American illustrated children’s literature.

Written in 1963, it was awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1964.[1] It also won the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award and was an ALAM Notable Book.

<<Where The Wild Things Are>>這部電影，改編自「美國最具有影響力的繪本大師」 Maurice Sendak 1963年的作品，曾榮獲1964年凱迪克金牌獎，以往常常有國外團體將其搬上舞台，以各種表演形態來重新詮釋，甚至也是國外小學童經常在校內演出的戲碼，現在搬上大螢幕，十分值得期待！導演：Spike Jonze，監製則是Tom Hanks，是其繼The Polar Express<北極特快車>，第二部監製作品！
