Synopsis

Max, a young boy, causes chaos in his home after donning his wolf costume, leading to his punishment of being sent to bed without supper. His bedroom then transforms mysteriously into a jungle setting, through which he sails to an island populated by fierce creatures called the "Wild Things." After asserting dominance over them, Max is crowned their king and spends time playing with his subjects. Eventually, he feels lonely and chooses to return home, leaving the Wild Things upset. When he gets back to his bedroom, he finds a warm supper waiting for him.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 5

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
