So you may have already heard that there’s going to be a Higglety Pigglety Pop! short film as a bonus feature on the Where the Wild Things Are Blu-Ray, which is coming out March 2. Higglety Pigglety Pop! or There Must Be More to Life is of course the other major chidren’s book by Maurice Sendak. It’s a surreal story about a dog looking for Experience.
The film is semi-animated (there are puppets involved) by the filmmakers of Madame Tutli-Putli and includes the voice-acting of Meryl Streep (Jennie), Forest Whitaker (Lion), Spike Jonze (Plant). The production design – as in Tutli Putli - is rich and stunning. Streep is perfect as usual.
Two more clips after the jump…

We’re putting a bunch of HD movies online today over at NFB.ca – and one of the films on offer is a beautiful HD full-length version of the Oscar-nominated animated short, Madame Tutli-Putli (watch above).
Madame Tutli-Putli is the dark and beautiful creation of animators Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski – from the animation house, Clyde Henry.
Other HD animated films on offer are the Oscar-winning CG animated-short, Ryan (Chris Landreth) – which looks stunning in HD, btw, the Oscar-nominated short Walking (Ryan Larkin), Oscar-nominee The Cat Came Back (Cordell Barker) and a 3D version of Drux Flux by Theodore Ushev – which you can also watch right on your monitor if you have a pair of glasses kicking around. Otherwise you can order a free pair of 3D glasses here.

A lot of the sets and puppets were also made by students from the Film Animation Major at Concordia University :)
Wow this is some gorgeous animation…
Can't wait!
great idea,great project.Wish all the best
Man, these look amazing. They totally capture the self-serving attitude of Jennie–all wrapped up in an adorable package. That wagging tail is perfect!
I don't really think there's a minor children's book by Sendak, but there are more than a few that people regard as major works besides Higglety Pigglety Pop!, including 1970's In The Night Kitchen, along with books that Sendak did with Ruth Krauss, Janice May Udry and others.
Haha, very good!
Thanks for the sharing.
You know, I hated the “Where the Wild Things Are” movie so much I'm afraid to even look at this.
Mr. Jonze sucked all the fun and life and wild rumpus out of the story and replaced it with a lot of depressing baggage from his own, presumably, unhappy childhood. More like “Where the Pathetic, Suicidal, Manic-Depressive Things Are.”
i also thought “Where the Wild Things Are” was a disappointment, i was expecting it to be good. but i still liked the visual, this one looks pretty nice too, i like the cat. nothing all that original but better than a cheesy modern look.
