The Fantastic Mr. Fox - Mick C. - 12-19-2009
Anyone else see this? I took my kids the other night to see it. Very quirky (Wes Anderson) stop-motion animation feature based on a Roald Dahl novel. Beautifully animated (the close-ups of the characters show a lot of emotion). Not punch-line funny, but funny. The relationship between Mr. Fox and his son Ash is interesting. There's an interesting dynamic as the talking animals have very human concerns (like their credit ratings) but eat and fight like real wild animals. Worth seeing.

I thoroughly enjoyed it as did both my kids(which isn't as easy to do as it was these days). I want to like Anderson's movies more than I do because at least he is attempting to be original, but more often than not I don't find the quirkiness he creates to be all that funny. Not the case here, the quirkiness was quite witty and made sense. I too thought the stop-motion animation looked great. I'm looking forward to watching it again.
