Inside Where the Wild Things Are

Whether it's our inside interview with Where the Wild Things Are writer-director Spike Jonze or our chats with his brilliant cast including Max Records, Forrest Whitaker and Catherine Keener, no one covers Wild Things as SheKnows Entertainment can.

Where the Wild Things may be weeks away from opening, but we have your first taste of what it took to bring this beloved book to life on the big screen as only Spike Jonze could.

Maurice Sendak and Spike Jonze worked closely together to ensure Sendak's vision from his classic children's book and Warner Bros allows SheKnows readers to get inside their creative collaboration.

After the video feature, we give you more character banners and detail how the World Wildlife Federation and Where the Wild Things Are are partnering to get kids outside.
