Where the Wild Things Are on DVD *Giveaway*

Escape to a land of fantasy when Where the Wild Things Are arrives on Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD March 2nd from Warner Home Video. Based on the highly awarded, critically acclaimed children’s book, innovative director, Spike Jonze, collaborates with celebrated author Maurice Sendak to bring one of the most beloved books of all time to the big screen…a classic story about childhood and the places we go to figure out the world we live in.

Where the Wild Things Are follows Max, a rambunctious and sensitive boy who feels misunderstood at home, as he escapes to where the Wild Things are. Max lands on an island where he meets mysterious and strange creatures whose emotions are as wild and unpredictable as their actions and who are desperately longing for a leader to guide them, just as Max longs for a kingdom to rule. When Max is crowned king, he promises to create a place where everyone will be happy. But Max soon finds that ruling his kingdom is not so easy and his relationships prove to be more complicated than he originally thought.

“Let the wild rumpus start!” Nine-year-old Max runs away from home and sails across the sea to become king of the land Where the Wild Things Are. King Max rules a wondrous realm of gigantic fuzzy monsters – but being king may not be as carefree as it looks! Filmmaker Spike Jonze directs a magical, visually astonishing film version of Maurice Sendak’s celebrated children’s classic, starring an amazing cast of screen veterans and featuring young Max Records in a fierce and sensitive performance as Max.

 Explore the joyous, complicated and wildly imaginative wild rumpus of the time and place we call childhood.
