Fantastic Mr. Fox

A work of pure animated joy that smacks of Andersonian stylings but doesn't seem to strain under the weight of its own subterranean yearning to be wild, alive, passionate and still compassionate.

Anderson adds a bit of an existential twist onto the story.

There's always a gag, a visual, a line delivery or something else happening on-screen to capture your interest, and you could watch it half-a-dozen times and still not capture every detail.

Fantastic Mr. Fox is nothing short of fantastic fun!!!!!

One of the most distinctive, entertaining and flat-out fun movies I've seen in a long time, a great piece of holiday family filmmaking that doesn't insult the intelligence.
