Join Ijams and Central Cinema for a wild rumpus of a night on September 12 as Maurice Sendak's tale, Where the Wild Things Are, comes to life on the big screen. This movie showcases a story that explores the themes of childhood emotions, imagination, and the desire for unconditional love.
This Spike Jonze film follows the story of Max. Feeling misunderstood at home and at school, mischievous Max, escapes to the land of the Wild Things, where majestic and sometimes fierce creatures roam the land. They allow Max to become their leader, and he promises to create a kingdom where everyone will be happy. However, Max soon finds that being king is not easy and that, even being with the Wild Things, something is missing.
