The story follows Max, a little boy who turns getting sent to bed without his supper into an adventure when he creates an imaginary world filled with monsters who make him their ruler. Jonze, who creates a dark vision of the story, used real actors, computer animation and puppeteering for the film. He co-wrote the screenplay adaptation with Dave Eggers.
