Spike Jonze's film adaptation of the children's book "Where the Wild Things Are," by Maurice Sendak, finally arrives in theaters this weekend after a year of studio-demanded revamping and much anticipation from (mostly adult) fans of the book. Below are some examples of the film's very un-Disney marketing strategy. I really want to see the movie, but I have to admit I'm feeling a little overwhelmed with the "coolness" of it all. I should probably go put on my wolf suit and hide for a bit.

* UGG has made a limited-edition WTWTA-inspired children's boot. Proceeds go to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
And Spike Jonze's skater roots were not forgotten. Lakai made limited-edition sneakers last summer...
... and Girl Skateboards released a set of skate decks this year.
