The animation is beautiful, the attention to detail is a thing of wonder... but the story is a mess, the script is banal and, as visually stunning as it all is, it just doesn't seem to have any kind of soul.

'Fantastic Mr. Fox' may be the purest distillation of Anderson's specific, inimitable style.

Visually, the movie is a wonder, with its profusion of detail and exquisitely focussed "performances" by the figurines, whom Anderson frames in images as precisely composed as those in his live-action work.

If Fantastic Mr Fox feels like Anderson's freshest film since Rushmore, that can only be due to the animation. Beneath those tactile textures, there's nothing you could strictly call fantastic.

Sometimes too clever by half, the film, replete with in-jokes, may in some ways work better for adults. Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, and Jason Schwarztman also provide adept voice work.

With its lush autumnal palette and hijinks worthy of Max Fisher or Dignan, the result is a film that only Wes Anderson could have made.

Bemusing or beguiling, depending on your previous exposure to Wes Anderson, however there is no doubting that this is a bravura piece of film-making and, well, truly fantastic entertainment for the whole family.

It's clear that Wes' beautiful brain goes in fresh directions when it comes to animation versus live action.

Audience Reviews for Fantastic Mr. Fox
-
Apr 16, 2016It's a fun film to watch with unrealistic adventures that only animations and cartoons can get away with. It's funny, dramatic and memorable. There couldn't have been a more fantastic portrayal of Mr. Fox than George Clooney, and the rest of the cast isn't bad either. Definitely one of the best if not the best stop motion animated movie. I feel like the strange humor that the fantastic Mr. Fox gives to the audience isn't the most family friendly but that makes it all more better for adults to understand and relate too. The films awkward pauses usually makes for funny scenes but after a while I got bored and it started to become annoying and lazy. Also the cuss scenes where funny for a while but because it constantly uses that same joke over and over again, the movie starts becoming annoying and it wears off.Tarin P Super Reviewer

Mar 28, 2016Meticulously crafted and wonderfully witty, Fantastic Mr. Fox is both a smart caper for adults and a delightful treat for children - with animation that has yet to be topped within the world of stop motion.Matthew M Super Reviewer

Jan 02, 2013Wasn't that keen on watching it but I caught it on TV over Christmas and got really into it, The choice of filming was different but it works, It's pretty funny and very well done and with a great voice cast it's worth watching.Jamie C Super Reviewer

Dec 08, 2012Well it's no Charlie and Chocolate Factory or Matilda but it's still decent. I'd say it's closer in feel to James and the Giant Peach. It was a pleasant enough movie with interesting animation but the storyline wasn't all that appealing to me. Also, the majority of the humor was a little dry for my taste but it was still quirky fun.Dannielle A Super Reviewer
