There’s a tiny view of what life working on “Where the Wild Things Are” over at Page 63 of your Manual: Where The Wild Things Are.
The monsters, if you don’t already know, are giant puppet suits that the actors wore, and I was one of three Refurb (refurbishment) techs on the film. Each day the monsters crashed through the bush, rolled down hills, waded into water or beat each other up, so each night, the standbys on set sent home the monsters who had been damaged by the day’s work where we would fix them up, put bandaids on their cuts and scrapes and send them back to set.
