I'm sure anyone who has ever been to kindergarten knows about this movie coming out. I remember falling in love with it then. For those who aren't familiar, this book is basically about a young boy named Max, who loves to play in his wolf costume. He gets into some mischief and is sent to his room with no dinner. While in his room he creates an imaginary world and travels by a sailboat to the land of the "Wild Things". He becomes the king because he's able to stare in the creatures' eyes without blinking. He eventually returns home cause he gets homesick. When he comes back to his room, his dinner is brought up to him.
The book is actually really short but the movie is basically riding off of it. Apparently the author was originally planning on making these "wild things" horses but he couldn't draw horses so he drew "things" instead lol. The creatures are apparently based off his aunts and uncles [exaggerated and distorted I'm sure].
I believe the book is basically showing how children use fantasy to express their emotions and handle them. It's getting rave reviews like I knew it would. I just loveeeeeeee this book and I must see it. It's out October 16th.
Here's the trailer:
