Description

Fantastic Mr. Fox is a 2009 American stop-motion animated comedy film directed by Wes Anderson, who co-wrote the screenplay with Noah Baumbach. The project is based on the 1970 children's novel by Roald Dahl. The cast includes George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, and Owen Wilson. The plot follows the titular character Mr. Fox, as his spree of thefts results in his family, and later his community, being hunted down by three farmers known as Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. In 2011, Richard Corliss of Time magazine named it one of "The 25 All-Time Best Animated Films". [38] Awards [ edit ] I feel a strange compulsion to pet that fuzzy fox fur". Roger Ebert.

It’s an American holiday of ubiquitous iconography and tradition: the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the NFL on CBS , and a countrywide feast of biblical proportions. For better or worse, most of us eagerly anticipate our chance to participate in the American myth-making machine, every time the fourth Thursday in November rolls around. But if asked to provide a list of movies that epitomize the truest essence of Thanksgiving, most of us would probably start to run out of examples after perhaps John Hughes’ ‘Planes, Trains, and Automobiles’ and maybe a few others. One movie that most people likely overlook in this discussion is Wes Anderson’s ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ , which, dare I say, is a fantastic exemplification of the essential themes for which the notion of Thanksgiving was originally conceived – those themes being: the importance of family (blood or chosen), building a sense of community through the sharing of food and resources, and a concerted effort to appreciate who we are, what we have, and more importantly, who we have in this wild world.

But this crazy effort in bringing to life Roald Dahl's story of a sly fox, is pretty much worth every frame of it. The man hours and intricate designs are something of an old school technique when compared to the latest computer wizardry, but you'll be amazed at what director Wes Anderson and his team managed to come up with, complete with a solid story, likable characters, and plenty of fun.

This, among many, is Anderson’s primary gift: the ability to upholster a film in magnificent fabrics through which we see – in relief rather than apertures – the shapes of terrible beasts moving around, all the more disturbing for their obscurity. The cleanliness and precision of each Anderson world – The Belafonte, Rushmore Academy, The Grand Budapest – only render more distressing the inelegant sadnesses they seek to keep at bay: self-disgust, heartbreak, grief, war.

While raiding Berk's Squab Farm, Mr. Fox triggers a fox trap caging himself along with his wife Felicity. She reveals her pregnancy to her husband and pleads with him to find a safer job if they escape, and he agrees. Anderson injects such charm and wit, such personality and nostalgia—evident in the old-school animation, storybook settings and pitch-perfect use of Burl Ives—that it's easy to forgive his self-conscious touches. [35] At times this adaptation of Roald Dahl’s slender anti-fable — truer to the spirit than to the letter of the source — does not even look like a movie. In spite of the pedigreed voices (Meryl Streep and Bill Murray, along with George Clooney in the title role), it feels more like an extended episode of what progressive educators call imaginative play. The sets might just as well have been built out of available household stuff, the stiff figurines animated and ventriloquized on a classroom or bedroom floor by precocious children. The group encounters Badger and many other local animal residents whose homes the farmers have also destroyed. As the animals begin fearing starvation, Mr. Fox calls them together and leads them on a digging expedition to tunnel to the three farms, stealing all of their prized goods. While the animals feast, Ash and Kristofferson begin to reconcile after Kristofferson defends Ash from Beaver's son.
