"I don't trust this guy. Anyway, set up the ambush!"
Doubtless, a family film that appeals equally to children and grown-ups is probably not the easiest thing in the world to make. It has to be smart enough to amuse the adults without being so clever that it disenchants t...( read more)
There's a fondly remembered Steve Bell cartoon for the Guardian in which, over a couple of pitch black panels, the strains of the Beach Boys' 'I Get Around' mysteriously float up from the darkness - until the lights are suddenly switched on to reveal the punchline: a bunch of sin...( read more)
If this film had come out when I was a little kid, I probably would have watched it a few dozen times by now. Anderson's style melds very well with Dahl's story and characters. I really liked the "old school" stop-motion in this film (although the stuff Selick does is amazing...( read more)
I'm not sure if Rohald Dahl would like the over americanism of his quintissential English tale, but i think he would of liked Gambon in his role.

Fantastic Mr. Fox renews one's sense of animation's possibilities. full review
Cinema-candy for grown-ups. I left the screening room thinking, I want to see this movie again. full review
Anderson prizes the funny over the profound to an extent that keeps the proceedings a tad too light and jovial to register as anything more than a lightweight aside to his more acute, earnest work. full review
The additions are okay; but it's the look that keeps you buoyed up, your eyes roaming the frames, laughing in surprise at the visual jokes and flourishes and textures. It's a dandy's movie, but that a... full review
Fantastic Mr. Fox is indeed fantastic in every way. full review
