Must have adult animation movie
Must have adult animation movie
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.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 movie!
Great movie!
|Posted ."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.

You Can't Get the Fox Out of the Chicken Coop
You Can't Get the Fox Out of the Chicken Coop
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendThe Fantastic Mr. Fox is a 2009 stop-motion animated film with a voice cast starring George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson and Willem Dafoe, adapted from a children's novel of the same name. While raiding a chicken farm, Mr. Fox and his wife become trapped but escape, but not until he has promised his pregnant wife to find a safer employment to feed the new family. Even with his new job and life, Mr. Fox is not happy and goes back to stealing produce from 3 farmers, who now seek to end his life, but he out foxes them. However, a flood of cider from the farmers forces the animals to live in a sewer with new confrontations from the farmers, but all is well that ends well, so watch and see why this film was nominated for several awards.

Quirky, Fun Movie
Quirky, Fun Movie
|Posted .I would recommend this to a friendI love this movie. I first saw it a few years ago at a friend's house, and after some initial skepticism on my part, it won me over. When I saw it for such a great, low price, I simply could not resist. It's a unique, slightly offbeat film, which I love. Stop animation is beautiful done, and the cast is fantastic. Plot, sense of humor, pacing, dialogue, and overall feel are very different from your average film (animated or not). Intelligent film that's a lot of fun and has a lot of heart without being sappy.
