Where the Wild Things Are was written in 1963 and it was awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1964. It also won the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award and was an ALAM Notable Book.
The book tells the story of Max, who one evening plays around his home, in a wolf costume by chasing the dog with a fork and growling at his mom. As punishment, his mother sends him to bed without supper. In his room, a mysterious, wild forest grows out of his imagination, and Max journeys to the land of the Wild Things.

Where the Wild Things Are Movie
Where the Wild Things Are Film
Where the Wild Things Are is a American fantasy film directed by Spike Jonze and adapted from Maurice Sendak's 1963 children's book of the same name. It combines live action, performers in costumes, animatronics, and computer-generated imagery (CGI). The film stars Max Records, Catherine Keener and Mark Ruffalo, and features the voices of James Gandolfini, Paul Dano, Lauren Ambrose and Forest Whitaker.
The concept of a film adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are was conceived in the early 1980s, originally as an animated feature by Disney, that would have blended traditionally animated characters with computer-generated settings. Animators Glen Keane and John Lasseter had completed a test film to see how the animation hybridizing would work out, but the project proceeded no further.
In 2001, Universal Studios acquired rights to the book's adaptation and initially attempted to develop a computer-animated adaptation with Disney animator Eric Goldberg, but in 2003 the cartoon version was replaced with a live-action concept and Goldberg was dropped for Spike Jonze. The film was produced by Tom Hanks and made on a estimated budget of around $100,000,000.http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/10/14/wild.things/index.html There were fears, expressed by production company Warner Bros., that the film was not family friendly and may frighten children; however these fears were not shared by either Jonze or Sendakhttp://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2009/oct/20/maurice-sendak-wild-things-hell, and Jonze refused to compromise.http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2009/dec/05/spike-jonze-wild-things-are
The film was released on October 16, 2009 in the United States, and on December 11, 2009 in the United Kingdom. Warner Bros. submitted the film for consideration for the 2009 award season along with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, The Informant!, Invictus, The Blind Side, Sherlock Holmes and The Hangover.Warner Bros.

Columbia City Ballet - Where the Wild Things Are Commercial
We did the animation and editing. For "Where the Wild Things Are", Columbia City Ballet gave us pre-existing, low quality footage to play with. We had fun giving a sense of immersion within the story by taking excerpts from the book and animating them. The result is eye catching and original. Art and Characters copyright by Maurice Sendak
