February 9, 2010Excellently quirky animation, snappy dialogue (apart from Mr Fox's annoying whistle/click catchphrase), great gags and all round good fun. A great little film of a classic childrens book. Fantastic. Obviously.

These weirdly effective shifts in tempo, combined with an attention to detail and distinctive dialogue, make for the best moments in this offbeat adventure. full review
