The Fantastic Mr. Fox

one of my favorite movies, animated/stop motion or not! a wonderful adaptation of a wonderful book, the scenes are so beautiful and the characters have depth, a movie I'm glad I've bought.

Good movie for everyone.

Interesting... artsy. Lots of celebrity voices you'll recognize. Some adult themes, but in my opinion good for 10 years and up. We have a 'boys club house' and it has a DVD player - so I stock a few classics and I liked this one. Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful.

This is a great family movie. Me and my kids both enjoyed it very funny great captioning great everything about it. We really laughed a lot. Great shipping and packaging as well.

love! fav movie!

Very clever retelling of the Roald Dahl book. Family friendly for many age groups but skews a bit older.

Wes Anderson’s animation debut translates his distinctive visual style to stop-motion with remarkable success. The film expands Roald Dahl’s brief children’s book substantially while preserving its darker undercurrents—a balance most adaptations fail to achieve. The production design relies on tangible materials—real miniature trees, actual sand, authentic textures—creating environments computer animation cannot replicate convincingly. Anderson’s deliberate autumnal palette, with orange appearing in every frame, provides seasonal warmth without sentimentality. The stop-motion work proves fluid and expressive, character movements conveying as much personality as voice performances. Clooney brings calibrated charm to Mr. Fox while Streep grounds the fantastical elements through restraint. The supporting cast inhabits their roles completely, aided by Anderson’s choice to record voices outdoors rather than in sterile studios, adding spontaneity typically absent from animation. What distinguishes this from typical family fare is Anderson’s exploration of existential themes through talking animals. Mr. Fox’s crisis over domesticity versus instinct resonates without becoming didactic, and the film acknowledges genuine consequences rather than easy redemption. The anachronistic 1970s aesthetic serves the material perfectly, creating nostalgic comfort while avoiding desperate contemporaneity that dates most animated films immediately. Underrated upon release, it has rightfully gained recognition as exceptional Dahl adaptation and proof Anderson’s sensibility transcends format. A fall favorite for good reason.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox is pure stop-motion magic! Wes Anderson’s unique style shines through every frame, combining witty dialogue, quirky characters, and beautiful visuals into a clever and heartwarming adventure. The voice cast — especially George Clooney as Mr. Fox — is spot-on, and the humor works for both kids and adults. The animation is charmingly detailed, and the soundtrack adds the perfect touch of whimsy. It's smart, stylish, and full of personality.

Came on time! Amazing movie and I will cherish it in my library for a good long while!

Ho scoperto questo film per puro caso e devo dire che, già dopo 10 minuti che lo guardavo, mi è piaciuto un sacco. Le animazioni sono veramente belle e la tecnica usata (stop motion) contribuisce a dare un tocco di realismo che rende il tutto ancora più bello! A livello di trama è sicuramente migliore anche di alcuni film Disney (sicuramente batte Zootropolis, anch’esso un gran bel capolavoro). Ho apprezzato molto la caratterizzazione dei personaggi (in particolar modo ho apprezzato Ash, il figlio scontroso di Mr Fox). Secondo me questo film è fatto più per gli adulti che per i bambini anche perché sono presenti sparatorie e combattimenti. Per concludere: consiglio vivamente questo film a tutti gli appassionati di animazione!

Parfaite état et super filme 😉

5 stars for a great movie , bought this for my 7 year old son .. I have read the book to my son and he really enjoyed it . we have also watched fantastic mr fox on sky movies box office a bit a go and my son really enjoyed that .. so i bought the DVD for him .. such hard work and great detail has gone into making this movie , the actors voices match there characters , even though they are American actors doing the characters voices , that does not matter .. its such a excellent story and quite humorous & funny in places , great for children and adults .. this DVD has been watched quite a few times already in our house even though we've only had it 3 days .. great choice for anyone , the movie is slightly different from the book , but as i said before that does not matter .. if you like roald Dahl you will love this DVD .. the DVD can also be transferred to your ipod which is great .. so you can take Mr fox and his family anywhere with you ..
