Name: Max- From: Where the Wild Things Are (1964)
- About: In the famous children's book by Maurice Sendak, Max is sent to bed after a night of making mischief. From his room he sails to the place where the wild things are and is made king. When he returns home his supper is waiting for him and it is still hot.
- Quote: But the wild things cried, "Oh please don't go -- we'll eat you up -- we love you so!"
- Connection: The name of this blog comes from the book, which was one of Jen and Jonathan's (and their parents') favorites growing up. Jonathan's mom has a signed copy, and Jen's dad has already read it to Max once.
- Meta: When John Lasseter of Pixar fame was a young animator working at Disney, he did test work for a drawn/CGI hybrid movie of the book. Here is a clip, thanks to YouTube:
