It's entirely created with stop motion photography, but doesn't feel like a typical stop motion film. It has a mature edge, not only in its content (characters swear frequently, but each word is replaced with the word "cuss"), but also in its style. The uniqueness and strange nature never get in the way. Stop motion animals and Wes Anderson seem to be a match made in heaven. The film works very well in just about every aspect, it would be difficult not to enjoy it. The characters are surprisingly great for a family film, and the comedy is appealing to just about any audience imaginable. All in all, it's impressive that Anderson could make such a blended and unique film, without letting the strangeness interfere with his style. Fantastic Mr. Fox really shouldn't be passed up by anyone.… Expand

No. This isn't an action movie. No. This is not a drama. This is a good nice not random completely sturdy, steady comedy with a nice fan base but I feel like the fans don't truly love this movie. I love and i know i gave it an 8 but that;s because I think it could be a little funnier and there's a few very small kinks in the story but I just feel the fan base isn't very strong and that they could take it or leave it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To be able to see stoic and reserved actors (at least that's what I have seen them as) like George Clooney and Meryl Streep in a Wes Anderson is almost as wacky as the comparison between a general drama film and a Wes Anderson production.
The cardboard-ish and 2D-ish presentation of the story with oddly paused dialogue from is a such genuinely funny thing to observe that you will feel happy and giggly on the inside (if not outright) right from the onset when Mr. Fox and his missus appear on the screen, him complimenting her, literally.
The animal allegories are delightful, especially signified by the shouting match between Mr. Fox and Badger, voiced by Bill Murray, who is a much appreciated and far too common feature in Wes Anderson films; much like Jason Schwartzman. Schwartzmann voicing the brow-furrowed Fox Junior named Ash is a delight too, adding personality while drawing attention to his intended scrutiny-laced character which a live acting scene may just not have done.
Summming up, Mr Fantastic Fox is as good a movie as it is portrayed to be, if not more. It is wacky, illogical and silly but never stupid or unfunny. It is a must watch film of it's genre - by that I mean Wes Anderson genre, of course.… Expand

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Fantastic Mr. Fox is a character driven animated comic drama about a fox that fails to act against its nature and gets into trouble along with his family. The symmetric world of Anderson never fails to delight us and the primary reason is it being brimmed with fine details that speaks volume. The work went behind the stop-motion animation is just marvelous especially to pull it off on such large scale and to speculate it with such nuance that it leaves the audience in an awe of it. The acts distributed in here and the way they shift from one to another is bizarrely ingenious and extremely powerful. It is eerily fast paced yet aptly cooked characters that offers enough depth for the viewers to dig in and explore. The writing is sharp, to- the-point and explicit with tiny tactics installed in here that not only is infomercial but hilarious too. Such dysfunctional family might have been familiar to the audience but with a perspective like this, the clock starts from zero. It is rich on technical aspects like its up beating background score, amazing songs, metaphorical cinematography and fine editing that paints the picture brighter. The voice cast fills in perfectly in this wild world and has done a hilarious work especially by Clooney, Streep, Murray and Wilson. Anderson's strong script matches its brilliant execution where you know that you have surrendered to his surreal world when he draws out emotions from these characters and pours it like rain over the audience. The three dimensional characters, satirical humor, moral conflicts and thought provoking policy that is genuinely effective are the high points of the feature. Fantastic Mr. Fox is a forced to be reckoned with, that not only shows potential in such animation but also the structure of the script.… Expand

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.

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.

Visually it is rather interesting and quite engaging in a way, which is rather refreshing for animated features. The musical score was definitely the high point of the film! Simply brilliant. However, never having read the book, the film itself does not seem to have a point to it. If one watches it and disregards that it's a children's book originally, one would ask themselves "what the heck is the point of this thing???" despite it being rather entertaining. Also, the actors did an excellent job with the voice-over, especially George Clooney, and it was lovely to hear Meryl Streep's voice!

Overall, it is definitely a good film, but keep in mind that it does not necessarily have a point to it. It's a children's story turned into a film. Fun, but not very deep/challenging.… Expand

His son ash and cousin christopherson plan a secret route to bring back the stolen tail. This brings trouble and christopherson is been kidnapped by the peasants. Now fox and rest need to do save christopherson. What they do? And how they do ? is the rest of the movie

Execution: the two questions in the script are perfectly executed. Editing is quick and movie does not lose the tempo. Perfect execution. Nice ending scene. Direction and screenplay: direction is good and narrated perfectly. Screenplay is gripping giving nice mood to the average script.

Casting: all the voices for the foxes and expressions by the animals like beavers rats and mice, rabbits are good. Their animation is perfect. Dialogs and action are perfectly synchronized.

Music and background score: the music is good. Background score is good during the tractor scene. Gun shots and explosions are reverberating and perfectly engineered.

For me (my sister violently A review for any people out there who wanted to see an animal movie: this is not it. To give some context for my review: I totally loved Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and The Life Aquatic. For me (my sister violently disagrees) the Darjeeling Limited and its prequel, for all their magical sets and wonderful details, was just recycling the previous movies, and I found the Fantastic Mr. Fox, for all its amazing, unique animation, even more recycled. For a movie all about delightful detail, why do we have an opossum in Britain? a pair of foxes with only one cub? beagles without a trace of beagleishness? a rat the size of a fox? The reason is that this is not a movie about animals, it is a movie about people, and in fact this is a movie about people we've already seen in previous Wes Anderson movies. Several times I had an eerie (and not necessarily negative) feeling of deja vu, feeling that Anderson had literally recreated scenes from his live-action movies in puppet form. Roald Dahl is nowhere to be found ("The Fantastic Mr. Fox," which I only read out of curiosity after finding the movie so un-Dahl-ish, was for me not anywhere near the top 10 best Dahl stories, but I was interested to see it was almost completely different in its sense of humor and its priorities--it was really about a fox, for one thing, not a human in a fox's clothing). Anderson's characters' lack of animalness stands in sharp contrast to Pixar's recent terrific movie "Up," where the bird and dogs are wonderfully real and beast-like--even though clearly imaginary.… Expand

I don't know why that is the case with so many of them, but it is. The animation is gorgeous and seems to be a mix of stop motion and CGI. And the script - eh - based on a Roald Dahl tale, it focuses on a crafty fox who raises the ire of some nasty farmers by stealing their chickens and cider. This causes a backlash, and it becomes all out war between cute critters and creepy farmers. For some reason, top actors like Clooney and Schwartzman were given the voice-over roles, which ends up being more distracting than effective. The best of them was Wolodarsky as the shy, goofy possum. The music choices were weird and took me out of the film. A word about Wes Anderson - I know I'm supposed to like his slight, whimsical movies, but I don't. The humor is bland and the stories are usually pointless.
