Glasgow Comic Con Where the Wild Things Are

Heartfelt direction meets a cherished graphic novel in Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are. A children's picture book met with negativity on release, Maurice Sendak's sharp and sweet story of a boy's appointment as king in a strange land of 'wild things' has become a cultural totem, loved equally by young and old. Crafted with co-writer Dave Eggers and a cast including Catherine Keener, Forest Whitaker and James Gandolfini, Jonze's film is a gorgeous representation of the intense energies – physical, emotional, imaginative – of childhood, and a heart-string botherer for parents, rebellious spirits and wild things of all ages.
