Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was an interesting movie. The kids really enjoyed it but wasn't that great for parents.

Bought this as a gift, not in my collection. Don't know anything about it

It was a OK movie. The kids were lost at times and became bored.

it was an okay film with an interesting look to it. im not sure why there seems to be a fascination with Wes Anderson. He is an unusual director with a unique style, a unique style to make good actors not so good, and very forgettable.

It was not what I was expecting. It was a weak storyline that kids lost interest.. George Clooney should not had did this,but his career is fading...

Well I bought this movie for my little nieces so I can't really tell u about the movie plot and such. But they seem to enjoy it

This is more of a movie for adults. My kids did not get the humor and were bored within the first half hour.

In typical Wes Anderson fashion, the director’s 2009 film Fantastic Mr. Fox takes a kooky yet endearing approach to a classic children’s novel. The story follows Mr. Fox, a father and husband who has tried to leave behind his free-spirited, wily ways for a peaceful, idealistic lifestyle. Despite the comfortable life he leads, he still feels tempted by his old ways as a chicken stealer. So, when he and his family move into a new tree overlooking the land of the town’s three most notorious farmers, Mr. Fox derives a plan to settle his appetite for the sly ways of his youth. Crafty as he may be, it isn’t long before Mr. Fox is tangled in much more trouble than he anticipated, and all the animals of the town may be in danger if he can’t swallow his pride and change his ways. Though it is Wes Anderson’s sixth film, alongside those such as The Life Aquatic and The Royal Tenenbaums, Fantastic Mr. Fox is his first animated movie. The film is based on a children’s book of the same title written by the acclaimed British author Roald Dahl in 1970, which Anderson recalls as the first Roald Dahl book he ever owned as a child. His inspiration to retell the story through a film was particularly inspired by the intriguing and endearing character Dahl created in Mr. Fox. As if Roald Dahl’s original story wasn’t delightful enough, Wes Anderson’s quirky yet heartwarming on-screen depiction adds a whole other dimension to the appeal. The dialogue is pitch perfect, and the personalities and idiosyncrasies of the animated characters give them a presence just as strong as any actors would have in the flesh. The characters are so relatable that they wear off on you-- sometimes I even catch myself mimicking Mr. Fox’s trademark whistle-whistle click-click. Fantastic Mr. Fox is offbeat and overflowing with the witty, unconventional humor that Anderson is best at. Most of all, though, the film’s strength lies in its unexpected dosage of heart. Sure, sometimes the stop-motion animation thing can be a little creepy. But with strong voice actors like George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, and Owen Wilson propelling the witty and captivating storyline and dialogue, what could be strange is instead inexplicably charming. The same goes for the mix between human and animal traits that the characters reveal. Anderson creates a careful balance between their tendencies, which dodges any uncomfortable or eerie inclinations and instead adds a captivating realism to the animal characters. For anyone who grew up treasuring Roald Dahl’s books, Wes Anderson’s wonderfully weird take on the story is a must-see. Anderson’s imaginative portrayal of the classic story is surprisingly satisfying film for children and adults alike. As Mrs. Fox says, “We’re all different. But there’s something kind of fantastic about that, isn’t there?” The same certainly goes for the film, but in the same way, such is the nature of its charm.

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.

This 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!!!!

I originally saw this movie because I was forced to by a younger relative, and went in thinking that it was going to be lame, but I was definetly wrong!! Great movie, good insight, great humor!

An excelent movie to add to your collection! Fun all around. Exciting enough for the kids to enjoy and clever enough to keep the adults entertained. One of the best movies I saw last year. *whistle click-click*

Wes Anderson is now two for two with me in terms of great films. Budapest Hotel and this are great movies. The stop motion animation and quirks are superb.

My entire family LOVED this movie! Fantastic fun at the right price! Unique movie that separates itself from similar categories in so many spectacular ways!

The greatest scene is where the husband and wife foxes kiss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic Mr. Fox looks great on Blu-Ray and can be watched and enjoyed more than once. It includes a digital copy that makes it accessible anywhere.

This is a movie adults can enjoy as much as kids, and is a must for a Wes Anderson fan. And I have to say, The Fantastic Mr. Fox looks FANTASTIC on blu ray.

Funny, original, & up-to-date!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loved this movie!! It is stop motion animation and that is a VERY cool thing!

IT was a fun movie to watch. Even my wife that hated stop motion animations loved this movie. She is even willing to give other stop motion films a chance now
