Synopsis
A wily fox uses his formidable cunning to outsmart three feeble-minded farmers, who resort to extreme tactics to protect their chickens in director Wes Anderson's animated adaptation of the popular Roald Dahl children's book. For 12 years, Mr. and Mrs. Fox (voices of George Clooney and Meryl Streep) have lived a peaceful life in the wilderness with their son, Ash (voice of Jason Schwartzman). Shortly after their young nephew Kristofferson (voice of Eric Anderson) arrives for a visit, Mr. Fox's long-suppressed animal instincts begin to take over and the faithful family man resorts back to his old ways as a cunning chicken thief, endangering not only his family but the entire animal community as well. When evil farmers Boggis, Bunce, and Bean force the animals underground in a desperate attempt to capture the audacious Mr. Fox, dwindling food supplies force the frightened animals to band together in one last attempt to fight for the land that is rightfully theirs. Bill Murray, Michael Gambon, Willem Dafoe, and Owen Wilson provide additional voices. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Great movie for all ages
A must see!
April 12, 2010This is a terrific film that will appeal to the kid in all of us. The filmakers have truly captured the spirit of Roald Dahll's classic book and brought it into the modern age with witty screenwriting and excellent voice talent. The stop-motion animation is a refreshing throwback to the days before computers were doing most of the work. A lot of love and care was put into this film by it's creators and it shows. Highly recommended!!!!

Truly Fantastic
July 12, 2016With a star studded cast Wes Anderson has woven another meandering comedic tromp that ranges between whimsical and strange. Roald Dahl's classic is retold in a unique way with lots of fast talking and hysterical laughter. It's great for kids and adults alike.

This is a fantastic movie! Even though I am a Wes Anderson fan, this movie slipped below my radar until I bought it on a whim. This movie is totally awesome and appropriate for kids of all ages. The sight gags are hilarious, and it's impossible for me not to laugh at the end of Petey's Song. The voice acting and writing are great; I think George Clooney was the perfect Mr. Fox. The animation and set design have incredible detail, and the extras gave great insight on how they created the look and feel of the movie. As with other Anderson movies, the music selection and soundtrack are wonderful. If you have not seen this movie, you haved missed out on a real gem. I have recommended this movie to all my friends.
