Apple:
In a move that will add more globally beloved children’s stories and characters exclusively to Apple TV+, Apple today announced a first-of-its-kind, multi-year deal with The Maurice Sendak Foundation. Through the deal, Apple and The Maurice Sendak Foundation will reimagine new children’s series and specials based on the books and illustrations by Maurice Sendak, which will premiere all over the world exclusively on Apple TV+.
Talk about a treasure trove of rich source material. Just like Goodnight Moon, Corduroy, and Charlotte’s Web, generations of kids grew up with Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are. This is seminal stuff.
Side note: There have been some great, animated treatments of Sendak material over the years. One of the best was called Really Rosie, a collection of shorts with music by Carole King. If that rings a bell, fire up the album on Apple Music
