Mr. and Mrs. Fox live an idyllic home life with their son Ash and visiting young nephew Kristofferson. But after 12 years, the bucolic existence proves too much for Mr. Fox's wild animal instincts.

Product Description
Product Description
George Clooney and Meryl Streep lend their voices to this hilarious and heartwarming animated adventure from visionary director Wes Anderson. Mr. and Mrs. Fox (Clooney and Streep) live a happy home life with their eccentric son Ash (Jason Schwartzman) and visiting nephew Kristopherson. That is until Mr. Fox slips into his sneaky, old ways and plots the greatest chicken heist the animal world has ever seen. Based on the beloved, best-selling book by Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Fantastic Mr. Fox is family fun at its finest.
Amazon.com
Fantastic Mr. Fox is one of the few animated features that is hilariously great entertainment for kids, and absolutely engaging entertainment for adults. From the animation to the story to the direction (by Wes Anderson) to the acting of the voice-over stars, Fantastic Mr. Fox ranks with the likes of Toy Story or the Wallace & Gromit films as robustly entertaining for movie lovers of all ages. George Clooney lends his voice and talents to the character of Mr. Fox, who's recently retired from his long, successful career of stealing poultry to become a journalist. His wife (Meryl Streep) is pregnant, and his son, Ash (the Anderson staple Jason Schwartzman), and nephew, the golden-boy Kristofferson (Eric Anderson), have a low-level rivalry that feels all too human. The story, based on the Roald Dahl tale, is slim, involving the return, just one more time, of Mr. Fox to his old profession--and the repercussions that may befall his pals from the mean farmers as a result. But the true charms of Fantastic Mr. Fox are in the smart dialogue, in the immersive animation that keeps the characters' faces just as expressive as humans', and in the very believable family and friend dynamics we can all relate to. When Clooney's Fox and Bill Murray's Badger get into "cussin'" matches, you can't help but crack up. Fantastic Mr. Fox is one of the all-time best films for the whole family. --A.T. Hurley

Thanks for reading!
I was thoroughly prepared to enjoy this film before even putting it on.
It's weird to look back on a life and realize how much of it is astoundingly blurry. To have no memorable relationships. To feel slighted by tragedy. To not now simmer in the joy that is often expected with nostalgia.
When it comes to novels, however, the recollections are of a stark contrast in terms of clarity. I remember the first book I ever read (𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒆'𝒔 𝑾𝒆𝒃). The first book I ever owned (𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑮𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑻𝒓𝒆𝒆).
The first book I ever loved. The first author I felt connected with.
𝑭𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝑴𝒓. 𝑭𝒐𝒙 (2009) Is only one of the many books from Roald Dahls’ collections that has given me comfort when it was needed the most. To push play, for me, is like bumping into an old friend. . . .
There is not enough to be sad about the meticulous attention to detail taken in the animation and cinematography Department; a total of 535 different puppets were constructed for the movie and it is perhaps even more surprising to know that the model for Mr.Fox took approximately 7 months to design (and 6 different ones had to be made). This dedication - brutal, and risky - more than pays off as it captures the essence of imagination and creativity needed when appealing to even the youngest of audience members.
Enhancing the puppets with fur from their real-life animal counterparts in addition to a profoundly conscious attention to detail makes every frame a real treat for the eyes (I paused this film so much just to take it in!). The set design - a mix of colors associated with autumn, the great outdoors, and Dahl’s own hometown - an open invitation delivered with warmth and infused with passion for the defiantly absurd.
It’s of no doubt that the target audiences for Dahl and Anderson have their significant differences.Sure, an adult is perfectly capable of finding enjoyment out of the sentimentally wrapped source material: But 90 pages worth of a fox outsmarting a trio of scroogey stooges can only go so far.
A prosperous marriage of masterminds: Anderson Illustrates his ability to construct a film that is appropriate for the family that won’t lull its older viewers to sleep. It calls back regularly to Dahl’s style of humor and wit through dialogue that jabs without bruising. While it is fair to say that at times the interactions between characters are wildly opportunistic, the ironic and spontaneous jests are highly preferable to space that is empty and disproportionality pretentious. And just so I know I said it: substituting a pseudonym for foul language isn’t just a practical move.
It’s cussing brilliance.
The divergence from the source material is hard to ignore, but the context in which Mr. Fox was originally created is largely to blame for Dahl’s unique vision; having lost a child to measles and witnessing another one be affected by “water on the brain” it should be of no surprise that ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ places exclusionary interest on its primary protagonist that is burdened by the responsibilities of protecting his immediate family and ensuring its survival.
The paradigm involving paternal roles and related values is a commonly explored vein in much of Anderson's work, so it's only natural to see some gravitation towards this particular story from Dahl's entire collection; the inclusion of a dynamic that differs from the source material (one involving Mr. Foxs’ son ‘Ash’ and a visiting relative) allows for some much appreciated elaboration on the themes found in both ‘FMF’ and other publications that aren’t so willingly adapted for the purposes of cinematic entertainment or distraction in an unexpectedly emotional way. Through Mr. Fox we see some potential for change (and the importance of recognizing our own faults). The rift between him and his quirky misfit of a son (‘Ash’) is depleted in an authentic and heart-felt manner. And of course there is a gentle reminder that life goes on: With or without our enthusiastic participation.
Alterations to classics are understandably met with pushback - but when made with responsibility and adoration they can be accepted as the inevitable result of modernization and time passing by with little regard for what gets taken away with it; this adaptation stretches the content of the novel it’s inspired by without breaking its spine or depreciating its value.
I would recommend!

In this film, Mr. Fox a newspaper columnist living in a den with his landscape-painter wife Felicity and son Ash, wanted to do something big - "My father died at seven and a half. I don't want to live in a hole anymore, and I'm going to do something about it." So he went and bought a tree-house. But his lawyer Mr. Badger warns him not to buy the tree property, because near the area, three very mean,rich farmers Mr. Boggis the chicken farmer as fat as a young male elephant seal because of eating chicken. Short and dumpy Mr. Bunce the goose/duck farmer who eats doughnuts stuffed with goose pâté. And lean Mr. Bean the turkey/apple farmer known also for his alcoholic Apple Cider. Now these farmers are so mean, that the local children would sing a limerick to taunt them :
"Boggis and Bunce and Bean
One fat, one short, one lean
These horrible crooks
So different in looks
Were none the less equally mean." But despite the warnings, Mr. Fox and his family moved in the tree-house. Then (I think) a week after the move, Felicity's nephew Kristofferson, comes for a visit while his father is ill (with I don't know what). Of course for Ash, it becomes a rivalry issue in athletics and his father's praise. Meanwhile, Mr. Fox ponder over what Badger said. So despite the promise he had made to Felicity years ago (the beginning of the film), he and Kylie the opossum building superintendent, sneak out at night and steal various types of produce and poultry from one farm to another...without his wife knowing, and also three angry farmers out to get him.
That's all I could tell you folks, you will have to see the film for yourself how it ends. Overall, I really enjoy this film.
