Product Information

Wes’ instinctual sense of film grammar and his inimitable visual style made him a natural fit for the medium of stop motion since it requires so much deliberate, pre-determined arrangement and fastidious attention to detail. One can picture Anderson staring at the myriad of expertly-crafted miniatures for his film, and obsessing over the precise symmetry of a weasel or a rabbit entering the frame. The set for Bean’s coveted cider cellar, is gloriously adorned in a glowing haze of amber light, shot through the prism of dozens of individually crafted miniature jugs of cider. All of the movie’s bucolic exteriors are exclusively colored in a mixture of auburns, chestnuts, and gold pigments. The sun always seems to be bathing the world of ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ in a vibrant, bleeding rainbow of primary colors. One could honestly pause this movie at any point during its runtime, and always be staring at a poster-worthy, or at least screenshot-worthy, image.

The spirit of self-conscious juvenile playacting has informed his work from the start, providing a theme for “Rushmore” and a sensibility for everything else. Foxy, with all his vocabulary and trappings, has abandoned his wild heritage, but finds himself incapable of being fully human either. He is caught between two worlds, he is a man without a country, he is an adorable miniature of what Zola called “la bête humaine”. (Like Anderson, I am not particularly afraid of being called pretentious; would that our similarities didn’t end there.)

Foxy’s eyes fill with tears; that is to say, someone from the art department dripped gum-arabic on to a puppet’s cheeks while a cameraman repeatedly photographed it. My own eyes, meanwhile, are soaked and swollen. Of course, I have been “manipulated”: a curious put-down that arbitrarily divides the schmaltz from the moving, the high from the low.Fantastic Mr. Fox” is a proudly analog animated entertainment, making its handmade way into a marketplace glutted with digital goodies. Next to the three-dimensional, computer-generated creatures that swoop and soar off the screen these days, the furry talking animals on display here, with their matted pelts, jerky movements and porcelain eyes, might look a little quaint, like old-fashioned wind-up toys uneasily sharing the shelf with the latest video game platforms.

But this crazy effort in bringing to life Roald Dahl's story of a sly fox, is pretty much worth every frame of it. The man hours and intricate designs are something of an old school technique when compared to the latest computer wizardry, but you'll be amazed at what director Wes Anderson and his team managed to come up with, complete with a solid story, likable characters, and plenty of fun.

Soon after the Foxes move in, Felicity's nephew Kristofferson Silverfox comes to live with them due to his father receiving long-term medical treatment for double pneumonia. While Mr. and Mrs. Fox welcome him, Ash finds this situation intolerable, as his soft-spoken cousin is superior to him at almost everything and is charming everyone at his expense. Longing for his days as a thief, Mr. Fox and his opossum friend Kylie, the superintendent, steal produce and poultry from Boggis and Bunce's farms. They take Kristofferson along on the raid on Bean's cider cellar, which deepens Ash's resentment. Mr. Fox conceals these outings from Felicity, who becomes suspicious when unexplained food appears in their larder. As the farmers wait for the animals to come out of the manhole, the animals settle into their new homes in the sewers, inviting any other animals to join them. Soon after, Fox (sporting the tail as a clip on) raids a supermarket owned by the farmers, where Felicity reveals her upcoming pregnancy as the animals dance in the aisle, celebrating their abundant new food source. a b Josh Horowitz (September 26, 2007).

The cleanliness and precision of each Anderson world – The Belafonte, Rushmore Academy, The Grand Budapest – only render more distressing the inelegant sadnesses they seek to keep at bay: self-disgust, heartbreak, grief, war.
