Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has just released a trailer for the "Where the Wild Things Are" video game. While I don't know how I feel about a game based on the classic Maurice Sendak story, if it helps get kids into the theater to see Spike Jonze's movie this fall, I guess I'm okay with it. So if you're curious what the game looks like, it's after the jump:

According to the press release:

Where the Wild Things Are is a fantastic adventure that explores an exciting new world filled with mythical creatures known as Wild Things.  Players assume the role of Max, "King of All Wild Things," as they team up with the fearsome but loveable creatures.  During their exploration of the island, players will have fun solving action puzzles, overcoming challenging obstacles and play through a unique story narrative to uncover the mystery behind the hostile island and save their friends before it's too late!

The game will be released on the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii and Nintendo DS in October 2009, timed to the feature film's launch.
