Synopsis

Max  is a rambunctious and sensitive boy who feels misunderstood at
home and 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.  The  Wild
Things  desperately long 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. Max soon finds, though, that ruling his kingdom is  not  so  easy  and  his  relationships  there prove to be more complicated than he originally thought.
