The visually ravishing animated movie The Fantastic Mr. Fox follows a fox, voiced by George Clooney and dressed in a natty brown corduroy suit, as he cheerfully and recklessly takes his thieving ways a little too far and brings down the wrath of some sour-faced poultry farmers on his family and friends. Based on a lesser-known book by children's author Roald Dahl (who wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and James and the Giant Peach), the movie is the work of Wes Anderson (writer-director of Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums), who expanded and elaborated on the original story; the combination is inspired. Anderson's sensibility--his fondness for meticulous compositions, coordinated colors, and narrative filigree--can sometimes seem finicky and stiff in live-action movies, but it's exquisitely suited to the painstaking art of stop-motion animation. Every corner of the screen crackles with visual invention and whimsical humor. The top-notch vocal cast (which also features Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Michael Gambon, Owen Wilson, and others) create vivid personalities that perfectly mesh with the movie's lush colors and luscious textures. The Fantastic Mr. Fox is an off-beat gem, a giddy mix of adult emotional issues, wild animal behavior, and childlike delight. --Bret Fetzer

 fantastic movie September 6, 2010
M Hicks
This movie was a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I was a little worried about the animation but it turns out it was great and actually enhanced the movie. It has a great story and it's not too dark and it has wonderful characters. I'm not cussing with you here, this really is a fantastic movie.
 The Movie Lounge.... September 4, 2010
James Medina (Los Angeles, Ca)
I believe that this is the Seller "the Movie Lounge" I recieved my copy, my Chinese bootleg copy of the Fantastic Mr.Fox. Yes the sleeve was made of laser paper. Not to mention the fake plastic Blu-Ray sleeve. If this is the seller "The Movie Lounge" I say don't buy. I repeat don't buy.
Horrible movie. August 29, 2010

I had high hopes for this movie, as the "experts" gave it glowing reviews. Thank goodness I rented this from the library before buying it! This has to be one of the worst movies ever created. It was so boring I could not even make it through the first half of the movie. The characters are flat and unmemorable. The voices were uninterested and almost seemed bored themselves. There really is no plot or purpose to the movie. No wonder it did so poorly in the box office.

When I saw previews for this film in the theatre, by wife and I exchanged eye-rolls. So when I borrowed a friend's copy out of sheer boredom with the current panoply of predictable, music video children's films, my expectations were low. In fact, we began this film close to the kid's bedtime so I'd have a reasonable excuse to bail out early.
Well, the kids loved this movie and so did I. It's wonderfully paced, the animal characters are idiosyncratic and immensely likable, and the dialogue is conversational and amusing. I don't like when an animated children's film includes a stratum of adult innuendo. That, to me, is targeted marketing, and those carefully distributed oblique references that make mom and dad chuckle exist to compensate for a weak story. No gimmicks here. Funny situations, cleverly crafted characters, technically superb animation, and a novel story.
We've must've seen it 10x since that first night. Any other film and I would have accidentally lost the video by now.
 Decent But Disappointing August 15, 2010
Tom C. (New York City, USA)
It was visually entertaining but nothing more. To me it was just action scene after action scene with no real rhyme or reason . Look, just because objects move fast on the screen for and hour and a half and gets your adrenaline pumping, doesn't mean it was a great movie. The movie also didn't have a heart to it. It felt emotionally cold. O.k. in a cartoon world we can argue that a fox doesn't show emotion because they are crafty, but there was something seriously lacking in this movie. There wasn't any real substance to it. I say it's slightly below average. Tom C.
