    My first Wes Anderson film ive seen and I LOVED it. The stopmotion animation, Mr.Fox's trademark, the whole heist part, just everything. Its so kiddy but comforting in a way I wished I watched this movie a long time ago. My new teen comfort movie since I didnt watch it as a kid.

    Actually really solid, good to watch something simple. The animation is a little creepy ngl but you get used to it. Mr fox is him, you can tell he used to crush all the fox puss back in the day. A lot of laughs in the movie and dope cast doing the voices.

    No because to have the military out for a fox is insane they all need to be in check. Also how if that one guy not dead like only chicken for breakfast,lunch,dinner, AND dessert that mf is going to have a cardiac arrest. HES FACE WAS ALREADY PURPLE. 2 steps and he breathless.

Fantastic Mr. Fox may be his most purely pleasurable film to date, evoking the Dahl books and Rankin-Bass productions that so transported him as a kid.

Anderson has created a world as stylized and inventive as anything he's done... Fox is a visual delight.
