Jewish name, haha.

Sendak name: MoisheMovie name: Carol

The most recognizable wild thing. I love how in the film each wild thing kind of represents a part of Max's personality. Carol was definitely his childish "wild" side that Max connects with the best. He just wants to have fun but gets mad when he doesn't understand too many "grown up" things.

Sendak name: BernardMovie name: The Bull

Even though he's also one of the most recognizable wild things (and on the cover of the damn book), they made him the least acknowledged one in the film, they don't even say his name. He does have one line at then end of the movie but I'm still not sure why they made this one like that. It could be that he represents Max'snew hope that he discovers towards the end of the film as he asks Max "Will you say good things about us?", which was laying dormant earlier hence The Bull being silent and ignored.

Sendak name: EmilMovie name: Douglas

I loved how there was just a giant chicken among the wild things bunch. Gave it some variety, haha. Douglas must be Max's reasonable side.

Sendak name: TzippyMovie name: KW

This one would not be as interesting as she was if she didn't have the duck feet. KW kind of represented the side of Max that ran away, but also she represents what his Mother taught him or maybe even his Mother herself.

Sendak name: BrunoMovie name: Cy (cut from movie)

This guy was considered to be put into the movie but replaced with Ira,
