Fantastic Mr. Fox - Wes Anderson - 2009



Wes Anderson has probably the most unique narrative style out there today, meaning that you can tell a film is a Wes Anderson film just by watching about 5 seconds of it. This is even true for his animated film Fantastic Mr. Fox a stop motion animation that feels very Wes Anderson.

The story centers around Mr. Fox (voiced by George Clooney) an animal who must help his fellow creature when they are threatened by the evil farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean.

The film has all the wit and charm of Anderson's previous work. It has a dry sense of humor that is hardly ever found in most non Anderson films (especially animated ones). The film also features the voices of many Wes Anderson staple actors including Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Adrien Brody and Willem Dafoe.

Fantastic Mr. Fox is a clever animated film with something to offer for every age and taste.
