If you watch Where the Wild Things Are online, you might feel like you've traveled back in time. A couple of generations have grown up reading the book by Maurice Sendak, and now it has been made into a feature film.

The book's main character is a boy named Max who has been into mischief and has been sent to bed without supper. Max is transported from his yard to an island where a group of seven Wild Things make Max their ruler.

It is worth it to watch Where the Wild Things Are online because of the glorious visual integration of CGI, animatronics, suitronics, and live action. One night, Max bites his mother and is banished to his room, but he runs away angry.

Outside, Max runs through the darkness, crosses fence, and finds a boat. He sails away into the darkness. Max eventually makes it to the island where The Wild Things are, led by Carol, who is played by James Gandolfini.

The Wild Things declare Max their ruler. Others in the cast include Catherine O'Hara, Lauren Ambrose, Mark Ruffalo, and Forest Whitaker. It would have been made into a movie in the early 1990s but Maurice Sendak couldn't find a director he really wanted to work with.

Sendak later found Spike Jonze, director of Being John Malkovich, and ended up offering the job to him. In 2005, Jonze and Dave Eggers finished writing a full-length screenplay based on the book, which is only 10 sentences long. Though it took a long time for the book to be made into a movie, when you watch Where the Wild Things Are online, you'll be transported back to a time when you might have wanted to be ruler of the Wild Things.
