Fantastic Mr.Fox (2009)

Director: Wes Anderson
Writers:  Roald Dahl (Novel), Wes Anderson, Noah Baumbach
Voices:  George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman
Fantastic Mr.Fox is a stop motion animation film directed by the fantastic Mr. Wes Anderson. The voices for the main characters are given by George Clooney, Meryl Streep and other Anderson film regulars like Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman. George Clooney is excellent as the lead Fantastic Mr. Fox who likes to steal from the rich human neighbors. When they find out his house fox and his family are confined to the underground while Fat, Short and Lean businessmen lay siege to the area. How they escape forms the rest of the story.

The soundtrack is excellent and the wit is very good. It is a little high brow for children and maybe that's why it didn't do that well in box office grossing just 46 million on the 40 million dollar budget. I consider the film more suitable for adults.

Rating: 4.5/5
