Fantastic Mr. Fox

The official Review.



This movie was "Quote,Unquote... FANTASTIC!"

Oh, how swell it was to see a Wes Anderson movie in theaters, it's been far too long. I'm very thankful to have seen this movie, because I went to see it on it's original release date, but saw that the selective release didn't include ONE Nevada theater! I was pretty unimpressed, but excited when I heard it was getting a re-release on Thanksgiving. The first thing that really impressed me with this film, is it's sheer originality. Every single thing in this film was made by scratch, and I mean everything. Wes is somewhat of a perfectionist, and it really shows in this film. Each piece of clothing, furniture, and coffee mug was hand fashioned and painted to match the scene. What's really impressive, is that the clay models of the Boggis, Bunce, and Bean were incredibly tiny. I mean like really tiny. The amount of skill and patience that must have gone into this process amazes me. As for the Fox, I read that dozens and dozens of different foxes were made to fit the exact position and expression of the scene, also equally amazing. If you watch Wes Anderson movies, you know that he is a stickler for style, hence the vintage blazers in "Rushmore", the hand-crafted custom Luis Vuitton and Marc Jacob's bags in "The Darjeeling Limited", and of coarse, the Adidas ensembles in "The Royal Tenenbaums." Well, in this movie, he puts just as much effort into his character's costumes, giving them personality, emotion, and wit. The fact that he put so much time and effort into this, already makes it Fantastic in my eyes.
Anyways, Mr. Fox, his wife, and his family decide to move underneath a humungous tree on a beautiful hill. The only problem is, on the other side of the hill resides the three best farmers in the land, each with their delicious specialties locked safely inside their storage silos. The problem with Mr. Fox is, he used to be a world-class chicken smuggler, food snatcher, you name it. Once upon a time, Mr. Fox got himself into an unsolvable situation, a stainless-steel fox-trap surrounded by very angry farmers, but thanks to his quick-wit, he soon realized what foxes do best.. They DIG! After their extremely narrow escape, Mr. Fox swears to his wife that he would never put her in such a predicament again. Ever.
Well now that the Foxes have moved right next-door to the most succulent alcoholic apple-cider in town, Mr. Fox begins to itch for a new heist.
