I didn't have any sort of expectation for this film, but i found considerably disappointing all the same. even with a great animation style the film is hampered by basically everything else.

From the point of view of someone who hasn't been brought up in the US and wasn't familiar with the novel or the character of Mr. Fox, this movie presents quite an issue.

It's not particularly funny, there's a certain creepiness about it, and I'm not convinced about Clooney dubbing the main character. Overall, it left me with a very upsetting feeling of being tricked into watching something that turned out to be something completely different.… Expand

The voices are great but I absolutely hate the animation style. Wes Anderson's films seem to not be my thing

Quite simply the laziest and worst attempt at film making I have ever had the misfortune of sitting through.

Unwatchable. Not funny for adults, dull for kids. There are no entertaining issues here, just a waste of talent. It isn't clear why this nostalgic amateurish animation technique was used, but it looks like a student film. Though it Unwatchable. Not funny for adults, dull for kids.

Though it looks like critics were impressed by A-list talent working on this kind of movie, the big question for the rest of us is what cellular service they used to phone in these performances.… Expand

I kept wanting to leave, but thought it had to get better...never did! It was 90 min. I'll never get back! Although it felt like days sitting there being annoyed! Can't figure out what the hype is all about because it was BAD!!… Expand

Not exciting and witty like the book it's based on. Gimmicky.

For anyone who enjoyed Roald Dahl as a child, be aware: this movie is one of the greatest disappointments I've ever seen.

George Clooney,For anyone who enjoyed Roald Dahl as a child, be aware: this movie is one of the greatest disappointments I've ever seen. Shoddy writing, inexplicably stupid characters, and a generally foolish plot hit me where it hurts. George Clooney, who I usually enjoy immensely, actually managed to make me want to punch him in the mouth; none of the other actors managed even that large of a rise from me, instead filling me with resigned disgust. By the end, I was cheering for Boggis, Bunce, and Bean.… Expand

I was so looking forward to this movie, everyone said it was so great but when I saw it, it was the worst movie I ever saw. The storyline made no since, the characters had no personality. Overall, do not see this movie, it is a waste of time.

The worst kind of movie is a movie that makes you feel nothing. At least a really bad movie will make you emote, it will make you angry so at least you care.

I didn't find it funny at all, and only heard 1 person laugh out loud maybe twice. My 5 year old says it was ok, but we were both having a hard time staying awake. Wouldn't even rent this one.

Didn't like it at all. Pixar's got it beat. Animation was not up to par, and the characters never grabbed my attention. One of my fellow moviegoers slept through 98% of the movie.

This stiff moving absurdity taught some moral lessons tied into frequent glitches in movement, filler shots to try to confuse even more and absurdities about farmers, foxes and animals.

Anderson has taken to laboring over the cuteness and quaintness of his movies that nothing has any meaning or substance. Everything he does is to serve this pathetic inner-child issue that it's simply nauseating. That aside, there's so much dialogue in the Fantastic Mr. Fox, with all of it amounting to nothing, that I was sad afterward that I saw it.… Expand

It clearly isn't actually for children considering the lengthy dialogue and slow, static scenery. Also replacing curse words with cuss is funny for adults for pretty inappropriate for kids. In the end, I can only surmise this film was made for adults that can accept adulthood. That being said, it's an acquired taste.… Expand
