We Love You So – Where The Wild Things Are – Spike Jonze

I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that Maurice Sendak wrote and designed this awesome early Sesame Street skit. Who else could seamlessly weave together nine alcoholic pigs, a deceitful rascal named Bumble, and a stern mother who works 29 minutes a day over the course of a whirlwind animated segment? But the best part is hearing Jim Henson’s voice come out of young Bumble at the end! How lovely it is to see the brief convergence of two great artists who were clearly on the same wavelength.
