Where the Wild Things Are

There's one in all of us.

After a fight with his mom, a little boy retreats to his room, and then into his own private fantasy world across, the sea, in a land populated by large creatures. There is a lot of discord in this land, and our little hero sets about setting things right... which of course mirrors things in his real world back home.

99 minutes, Parental Guidance (Violence)
