Based on the beloved children's book by Maurice Sendak, Where The Wild Things Are tells the story of a young mischievous boy named Max, who likes to live on the wild side. When Max bites his mom when he ignores her, he runs away, hitches a ride on a boat, and sails to sea. Max ends up on an island inhabited by monsters and is declared king by them. The Wild Things were built at Jim Henson's Creature Shop, who previously built animatronic/puppet characters for movies like The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth, Teenage Mutant Turtles, The Flintstones, and Babe, as well as TV shows like The Storyteller, Dinosaurs, and Farscape. The monsters were brought to life faithfully and look just like how they did in the book, the most beautifully and faithfully adapted Henson-related characters since Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas, which was also based on a children's book. Where The Wild Things Are will pull at your heart strings and tame the beast inside you.
Rating: The perfect raging of 5 stars
