Fantastic Mr. Fox [Criterion Collection] [Blu-ray] [2009]

I remember watching this movie when i was younger and holy heck i was sUPER excited when i saw this on blu-ray !! HIGHLY RECOMMEND !!!

This was a gift for my daughter. It was well received.

THE ANIMATION IN THIS MOVIES WAS AMAZING, I WAS VERY YOUNG WHEN THIS WAS RELEASED, AND UNTIL NOW I DECIDED TO BUY THIS IN BLU RAY.

One of the best adult animation movies ever because: looks fantastic (no pun intended), sound quality very good, pacing great, but the cast makes the movie. George Clooney and Michael Gambon are outstanding in their voice roles. Many members of the cast are very good as well. Young children may find some of the material unsuitable and/or get bored. A must for the home video library

Great now day classic actors voice A Wes Anderson tale that’s of his best. A traditional style story time tale told with Wes Anderson zest! Can’t wait to share with my kids some day maybe!? :)

A wonderful book turned into an even more wonderful movie. You either already know the works of this amazing director, or you need to discover them. Start here. With the voice talents of 2 huge Hollywood stars. Well done

"Fantastic Mr. Fox" is based on the children's story by Roald Dahl, though it has been embellished a great deal by Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach. Mr. Fox (George Clooney) has put the dangerous life of a poultry thief behind him and settled down with Mrs. Fox (Meryl Streep) and a newspaper job. But, never satisfied with the ordinary, Mr. Fox wants to move out of their hole into fancier digs in a treehouse near the Boggis, Bunce, and Bean farms, which prove to be too much temptation. Mr. Fox desperately wants to pull off one last poultry caper. With his hapless opossum handyman Kylie (Wallace Wolodarsky) in tow, he aims to rob all three farms -which doesn't sit well with the human farmers, especially Mr. Bean (Michael Gambon), who vows to kill the crafty fox. This is cute enough for children and clever enough to satisfy adults, who will appreciate Mr. Fox's blunt talk. The addition of two young characters, the Fox's son Ash (Jason Schwartzman) and nephew Kristofferson (Eric Chase Anderson), seems stranger the more I think about it. But the two young oddballs seem to be there to provide an everybody-has-something-to-contribute theme for the children in the audience. Actually, fans of the story may be more surprised by the changes in theme than in the plot. The derring-do that makes Mr. Fox so "fantastic" is the object of much criticism, and the plot has been wrangled to service "family values" themes. That puts a damper on its irreverence, but there is still a lot to like in "Fantastic Mr. Fox", including richly colored stop-motion animation.

The movie was great and I enjoyed it a lot. It comes with a digital copy which I always prefer.
