2009 was a great year for children’s films based on beloved books with wonderful adaptations of Where the Wild Things Are, Coraline, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and Wes Anderson’s fantastic interpretation of Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Fantastic Mr. Fox is a film that takes the best bits of Dahl’s slight but enchanting novella and filters it through Anderson’s idiosyncratic styling to create an unlikely but magical marriage of influences. The source story may remain in tact as an urbane fox attempts to get the better of three ruthless farmers, but it is full of familiar Anderson family dysfunction and existential angst as the eponymous Mr. Fox struggles to keep his family together.
Despite the transition to stop-frame animation this…

Fantastic Mr. Anderson!
This is cute, brilliant, inventive, vibrant, sharp, sarcastic, full of colour and full of life. Why the cuss did I take so long to watch it? I do not know. But I sure had a swell time with a long, broad smile drawn on my face as that of a kid who had a bucket full of ice cream in his hands.
The dialogues are quick, cheeky and intelligent marked with the characteristic Wes Anderson style quirkiness and distinction.

This gives me great hope for Isle of Dogs. A mature but childish film, it was peak Wes Anderson. Fantastic, Mr. Fox.

I forgot how long it’s been since I’ve seen this.
A rewatch reminded me just how much of a classic this is. The dialogue and story are so cussing clever and the cinematography and characters are so amazing through the stop motion. Anderson pays so much attention to details, and his cinematic style with this stop motion stuff has me so freaking excited for Isle of Dogs.
95/100

did anyone else watch this as a kid and feel really weird every time someone said "what the cuss?"

80/100.
Well, that was charming. My first Wes Anderson experience. The symmetry of it all paired with the first 20 minutes were so, so on point. It's a comfy, feel good ride, with some sharp visuals that had me smiling for most of the runtime.
Also, I cussing love foxes.
