Where the wild things are...

I loved this book when I was a kid and I can't wait for the movie!
(cutest movie poster ever!)

Where the Wild Things Are is a film adaptation of the children's book of the same name by Maurice Sendak.

The children's classic first published in 1963 is about the imaginery adventures of our star, Max, who is punished for "making mischief" by being sent to his room without his supper (does anyone even use that word anymore?) Whilst in his room, a wild forest grows out of his imagination and Max journeys to the land of the Wild Things. He wears a cute little wolf suit throughout his adventures and eventually becomes King of the Wild Things. However, he soon finds himself lonely and homesick and returns home where his supper is waiting for him.

A mere 10 sentences long it will be interesting to see where the film will take the story...
