Maurice Sendak's beloved children's novel "Where the Wild Things Are" has spawned more than just a Spike Jonze-directed feature film, it's also resulted in a video game. What, you don't believe me? Here's a trailer. Is that proof enough for you, punk?

The game arrives next week, same as the movie, with its PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii editions handled by Amaze and the Nintendo DS version coming from WayForward.

"We've got a lot to see, Max," says the Wild Thing. "I hope you like to jump."

I'd have to check, but I'm not sure "I hope you like to jump" was a line that Maurice Sendak wrote. Maybe it was cut from the original manuscript. Maybe this is canon and I just don't know it.

Then again, this isn't Where the Wild Things Are, after all; it's Where the Wild Things Are: The Movie: The Videogame. In which you fight bugs and, like all good members of gaming royalty, swing from poles.
