Wes Anderson took the novel by Roald Dahl and stylized it to make it a true Wes Anderson movie. I truly believe this movie wouldn't be as great as it is if it was made by someone other than Wes Anderson.

Wes Anderson instantly became one of my favorite directors after seeing this great animated film. His quirky style was perfect for this story, and voice-overs were outstanding.

His quirky style was perfect for this story, and voice-overs were outstanding. Clooney in particular was brilliant. I am a huge fan of animation and I usually don't like it when I recognize an actor's voice because I only think of the actor while watching the film, but in this case the famous actors (George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray) became the characters they voiced and were perfect. The music was also brilliant throughout. I hope Wes Anderson makes more animated films in the future. BRILLIANT!… Expand

A must-watch for all ages, family film to entertain all watching. Handcrafted props, beautiful animation, landscape and film perspective and editing. Characters are charismatic and fun.

I still can't find words to describe how much I love this movie. Maybe it's the lighthearted and upbeat tone that never slows down to have a forced emotional moment. Maybe it's the fun characters and how fun to watch they are and how wellI still can't find words to describe how much I love this movie. Maybe it's the lighthearted and upbeat tone that never slows down to have a forced emotional moment. Maybe it's the fun characters and how fun to watch they are and how well written they are. Maybe it's the impressive stop motion animation, shot composition, cinematography and all the visual aspects. Maybe it's just the excellent screenplay which, despite telling a lighthearted and fun story, there are some truly depressing moments underneath. I just don't know what is what I like more from this movie. I just think it's a brilliantly executed story.… Expand

Wes Anderson transformed Dahls story into a cinematic masterpiece, in which every shot is aesthetically beautiful. Anderson’s use of mise en scene is spectacular and the balanced symmetrical camera shots combined with the stop motion animation creates an almost perfect movie. The plot is exciting and the charters all feel flushed out with well developed motives. I highly recommend that you watch this movie.… Expand

The movie is a great stop start animation with some amazing characters and the voice actors who play the characters do a great job with what they're given. Also, the plot for the movie is pretty good and I liked how the two brothers don't get a long during the start but you get to see their emotions with each other change throughout the movie, which I really liked. Finally, there's something very lovely about this movie which I really liked, I don't know if it's the colours which Wes Anderson's chosen for certain scenes throughout this masterpiece of a movie but I'm not completely sure. Overall, I really enjoyed this movie, I loved the characters. I liked how they were different animals and they weren't all foxes but they had different types of animals throughout this movie which added a bit more to the movie's story. The movie's even got a lovely score from Alexandre Desplat which I thought worked very well throughout this movie. I'd honestly reccomend this movie if you're wanting something to watch, it's a well made movie with a great cast who give it their best, it's honestly worth the watch.

Also, I never knew Rat was played by the man himself Willem Dafoe and he's also amazing throughout this movie.… Expand

Absolute classic. If you have a family, I'd say you gotta watch this with them. It's really good for the fam because it's layered.

It's really good for the fam because it's layered. The adult can see things in the movie that the kids might not necessarily see, and it's still enjoyable for kids too. So it's great for everyone.

Mr. and Mrs. Fox live peacefully with their son Ash and grandson Kristofferson, their host, inside a large tree on top of the hill that faces the factories of the worst farmers in the area: Boggis, Bunce and Bean. But Mr. Fox's wild natureMr. and Mrs. Fox live peacefully with their son Ash and grandson Kristofferson, their host, inside a large tree on top of the hill that faces the factories of the worst farmers in the area: Boggis, Bunce and Bean. But Mr. Fox's wild nature prevents him from finding satisfaction as a reporter and prompts him to try to fool the three men and loot their warehouses. Revenge is swift and merciless and jeopardizes not only his beloved family but all the animals in the underground. Mr Fox will therefore have to come up with a new and ingenious plan to get everyone out of the way.
A fun and successful stop motion comedy about the tragicomic and sad war between animals and evil animals (humans).… Expand

A fun and stylish film, if still consistently and tonally safe with Anderson's other work. Looks incredible, possibly my favorite looking of his films.

Best representation of a fox in any artistic medium. It is very accurate to actual fox ethology.

It's very, very fantastic.
Wes Anderson's vibes were stylish and artistic... Also, the way to convey each character's story and feelings was very good. And Wes Anderson's signature mise-en-scène was still beautiful.
Wes Enderson's stop-motionIt's very, very fantastic.

This movie sparked my love for Wes Anderson films.

I could rewatch this endlessly and now do so because I can share it with my daughter.
