"where the wild things are" (2009), a film adaptation of maurice sendak children's picture book of the same name, was directed by jonze and co-written by jonze and dave eggers, who expanded the original ten-sentence book into a feature film. sendak gave advice to jonze while he adapting the book and the two developed a friendship. the film stars max records as max, a lonely eight-year-old boy who runs away from home after an argument with his mother (played by catherine keener) and sails away to an island inhabited by creatures known as the "wild things," who declare max their king. the wild things were played by performers in creature suits, while cgi was required to animate their faces. james gandolfini, lauren ambrose, chris cooper, forest whitaker, catherine o'hara, paul dano, and michael berry jr. provided the voices for the wild things, and jonze voiced two owls named bob and terry. the film's soundtrack was performed by karen o and composer carter burwell scored his third film for jonze. "where the wild things are" was released in october 2009 to a generally positive critical reception, although some reviewers were unsure whether the film was intended for a younger or adult audience due to its dark tone and level of maturity. jonze himself said that he "didn't set out to make a children's movie; i set out to make a movie about childhood". a television documentary, "", co-directed by jonze and lance bangs, aired in 2009 and features a series of interviews with sendak. jonze wrote and directed "we were once a fairytale" (2009), a short film starring kanye west as himself acting belligerently while drunk in a nightclub.
