Where the Wild Things Are may be just what you need if you’re looking to watch a movie suitable for the family.

The film is based on the 1963 children’s book by Maurice Sendak, which you may remember from your childhood, or from having introduced to your own kids.

The book is about a boy named Max who fools around his home in a wolf costume. His mother is annoyed by his mischievous behavior and decides to send him to bed without dinner.

Emerging from his imagination, Max enters a mysterious lands where he comes across what is known as The Wild Things, which are monsters. While there he makes a few realizations about his home life.

It could be an interesting film to watch the whole family. It’s available now on Blu-ray and DVD.

The film adaptation of the popular children’s book, Where The Wild Things Are, comes out in theaters today and I know that movie-goers young and old are going to enjoy it. I think they did an incredible job recreating the characters from the book and the reviews so far have been favorable.

The plot follows Max, a young boy who feels that his free, adventurous spirit is misunderstood by the people around him. After running away, Max finds himself on an island filled with strange creatures whose “emotions are as wild and unpredictable as their actions.” The need a leader and Max wants to rule over their kingdom but, after he is crowned king, he finds that making them happy is a lot more complicated than he originally thought.

“Where the Wild Things Are” Video Game

The film adaptation of the popular children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are, will be coming out tomorrow so, of course, a corresponding video game is being released for the Nintendo Wii, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and the Nintendo DS.

The environment is sheer fantasy so it looks like this could be a very fun game. I think that the effects in the movie look pretty impressive and, from the few screenshots I’ve seen, the game’s graphics also look good.

In the game, players must assume the role of Max, the “King of All Wild Things,” as they navigate their way on a journey through the mysterious island of the Wild Things. The tasks include solving action puzzles and overcoming challenging obstacles. It sounds like a game of strategy and, since I’m a sucker for those types of games, I plan to pick up a copy.

It looks like it’s got a dark, misty quality to it so I’m sure there will be some suspenseful moments. I’m looking forward to checking it out.
