where the wild things are

 
Jonze, S., Eggers, D., Hanks, T., Goetzman, G., Carls, J., Sendak, M., Landay, V., Warner Home Video (Producers). (2010). Where the wild things are. Burbank, CA: Distributed by Warner Home Video.

This lovely, haunting movie is an adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic, Caldecott Award-winning picture book. Tweens may think this is a little kids' movie at first, but its themes are quite mature and deep. A less sensitive treatment of the material wouldn't have benefited this well-loved book, but this beautiful film gives new dimension to the original story.
