Every snippet released from this makes me more and more excited. It's been a while since a truly magical film came along, and having the author give it his full support only concretes my trust in the project. This definitely has the feeling of a proper kids classic like those we reminisce about from our youth. I can't wait.

Australian Visual Effects workshop ODD STUDIO http;//www.oddstudio.com worked on the film and was responsible of re-working the Monster suits. The original suits had animatronic heads and were to heavy to operate on set. The original suits were produced by Henson, the shipped to Australia. The monsters in the final film are still suits with CG faces. It all looks seamless, great job.

I'm so glad to see that the Wild Things aren't going to be computer generated. I think the film will have a much more charming look to it for this very reason.

Framestore in London did the FX - seamless and brilliant!

VFX work was actually done by Framestore in London.

They were responsible for bringing the Wild Things faces to life and making it believable.

Well the facial expressions are done with CG that Framestore did all the work for. It looks really amazing with the blend of animatronics and CG elements

I really can't wait for this film, I think that kids (and those of ur that are kids at heart) are really going to be spoilt for choice this season with Where the Wild things are AND Fantastic Mr Fox!

My family and i are so excited to see the film when it is released later this month. I am 38 yrs old and grew up reading signed 1st edition copies of Where the Wild Things Are, Kennys Window and In the Night Kitchen my father got for us. My dad, Stan Bloom is a cousin of Muarice Sendak's although unfortunately i dont know the entire family tree from which this relation extends. I hear there were poor relations with Muarice and his immediate family as a result of his life choices which led to some of his exile from his family. Muarice, if you read this you should know that you have touched your family in a very special way through your talents and brought us together with bedtime stories passed down from generation to generation. There is no doubt that our children will continue this as they grow up and start families as your works have been so inspirational that my daughter Kailey rarely goes an hour without drawing. We hold your works close to our hearts as although we have never had the privilage to know you personally we feel you are member of our family each time we peel the pages of one of your books and grow a forest in our rooms to sail across and day and night and night and day. Our lives would not have been the same without the contributions you made to them. Thanks!
