Disney originally owned the film rights for Where the Wild Things Are as far back as the 1980s, but they were never used.

A test sequence was animated. The backgrounds were going to be CGI and the characters were going to be traditional animated. However, due to the fact it was going to be too expensive, the film was dropped.

The book has since been adapted into a live-action film by Legendary Entertainment and directed by
Spike Jonze, and was released in 2009.
