Fantastic Mr. Fox
November 25, 2009
Rated: PG Runtime: 87 min Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Wes Anderson’s sixth movie, and his first fully stop-animated one. Based on the book by Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, etc.).
I haven’t read the book, so I have no idea how faithful the movie is to the original material. Wes Anderson tends to make movies that are like intricate model dioramas (Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, the Darjeeling Limited). So the miniatures-and-stop-animation format is right up his alley.
George Clooney voices Mr. Fox, a dapper vulpine. His wife (Meryl Streep) wants him to change his chicken-stealing ways. But the lure of three nearby farms proves too much for him, and he returns to his gentleman thief ways. Meanwhile, his son Ash (Jason Schwartzman) is jealous of his visiting cousin, who seems to succeed in everything he tries effortlessly.
George Clooney here finally makes a good crime caper movie. Maybe he’ll resist doing Ocean’s 14 now.
The humor is aimed at adults as well as kids, but there’s nothing inappropriate for kids.
