BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

andrewroy-04316 Fantastic Mr. Fox is short, sweet, and fun. The animation and direction are well done and exude a general happy tone. The characters are developed through actions and the movie moves at a quick pace. It delves a bit into deeper themes of fundamental nature. The world and practicality of how some animals did specific things were unclear, but didn't significantly detract. Overall, it's a fun, easy movie to watch that doesn't do anything special, though the animation is nice.

Craigelink Where to start? This movie might have been groundbreaking animation wise if it had come out 15yrs earlier. Beyond that, even the high profile celebs doing the voices can't save it. My daughter (8) was confused and bored the entire way through, as was I. Who is this aimed at? Its boring for kids and boring for adults. The script is montone and boring. Roald dahl's story has been crucified to make way for what can only be described as "american hipster" garbage. I can't believe this has such high reviews, i really can't. I can only assume they are paid.

JLRVancouver 'The Fantastic Mr. Fox' takes Wes Anderson's quirky directing style and applies it to animation. All the classic Anderson elements are there (relentless symmetry, wide shots with tiny elements of motion, laconic dialogue punctuated with pauses, etc), but in this case, all is acted out by stop-action, animal models. The result is a great animated 'action' film – a little dark at times (as befits a Roald Dahl story), but otherwise enjoyable by all ages. Marquee voice talent adds a lot to the wandering story of a fox (and father) dealing with his family and friends, and the disastrous consequences of his compulsion to steal from the local cabal of farmers. Much of the fun is in the details, so watch closely. The music (especially the children's chant motif) and the visualisation of the most 'psychotic' of the three nasty farmers adds a lot to the pleasingly grim-lite mood of the film.
