I think it says a lot about the book that I still pretty much remember much of it after had read it long ago. With such a short book it is easy to contain all of the elements, but there is an important element missing. Or actually a question, how do you create a movie that is over an hour with a book with so little information? Well, I think the movie did a good job emphasizing the adventure well beyond what was in the children story.
In the short story, you know that he was mad at his mother and was sent to bed after he shouted at his mother. While in his room, it slowly turns into a forest and he builds a raft to where the wild things are. While there through he fearlessness of the monsters, he is made king and they have adventures. After a while he grows bored and starts to miss his family, so he sails back. It is frightful in that, in that same position would you be eaten, all the while wetting your pants at the sight of such creatures.
The movie gives a lot of life to the creatures, the boy who becomes king of the wild things and the story. I enjoyed the human elements of the creatures. How they interacted and let someone be King who they suspected was not one of them. At a few moments, the movie was actually scary as you realized that in that situation, any wrong move and your life could be forfeited. You hoped the boy lived, but also saw that the monsters were actually quite human or at least had a wider range of emotions than most monsters.
It was well done, I believe.
