Maurice Sendak, Dave Eggers & Spike Jonze talk about Where the Wild Things Are


If I learned anything from my days twittering for The Nerdery it’s that the only thing people seem to love more than Legos is the upcoming film adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are.

In this three-minute featurette, Maurice Sendak talks about how his book was not well-received, garnering bad reviews and that it took nearly two years for it to really take off. Then he goes on to say how excited he is about Jonze’s adaptation. He’s not alone.
