Melbourne
🇦🇺 Australia
capital city of Victoria, Australia
“Where the Wild Things Are was a joint production between Australia, Germany, and the United States, and was filmed principally in Melbourne.” Wikipedia
Also per Wikipedia's Filming and special effects section
Wikipedia’s Filming and special effects section names 1 more place. A sentence in an article is weaker evidence than a Wikidata statement, so these are listed apart, never mixed into the statement list, and the claim links straight to where it came from.
Places whose own article says it was shot there
1 place whose own Wikipedia article names this film as something shot there, where Wikidata records nothing and this film’s own article does not say so either. The weakest evidence on this atlas: no pin on the map, and nothing in the downloads. Each sentence is quoted whole and linked to the article it came from, so it can be judged rather than taken on trust.

Mount Macedon Australia
“Scenes in Where the Wild Things Are were filmed in the forest surrounding Mount Macedon.” Wikipedia
Recorded only at country level
Wikidata also records this film as shot in Australia, without saying where. Those statements are true but unmappable — a pin in the middle of a country would claim something nobody wrote — so they are listed here instead of guessed at.
