Where the Wild Things Are

Action/Adventure, Family

Based on Maurice Sendak's classic book, "Where the Wild Things Are," a young boy named Max--after being sent to bed for misbehaving--imagines that he sails away to where the wild things are. Max is loved by the wild creatures who make him their King, although he soon longs to be back home with his family. Rated PG for mild thematic elements, some adventure action and brief language.
