Synopsis
After wreaking havoc in his wolf costume, young Max is banished to his room without dinner. His bedroom transforms into a wild, untamed landscape, and he soon voyages across the water to an island inhabited by fierce, unruly creatures known as the Wild Things. By standing up to them, he wins their admiration and is crowned their king, enjoying boisterous games and chaotic companionship. Gradually, loneliness creeps in and Max chooses to return home, disappointing his new subjects. Back in his own room he finds a hot meal waiting for him.
