Fantastic Mr. Fox review (2009, Anderson)


I had my doubts about this stop motion masterpiece until I heard the soundtrack and instantly fell in love. After hearing the soundtrack I swiftly went and watched the film and it was like falling in love with the soundtrack all over again because it just fit into the film so insanely perfectly it was just perfection. 
In addition to the soundtrack the voice work of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman and many other amazing actors are just so on throughout the whole film. This may be down to the fact that Anderson got them to act it out as if it were a live action movie but whether it is that or not the film is just awesome.
The film is an adaptation of the children's novel of the same name written by Roald Dahl. It is about a fox family that act as human but still recognize that they are animals. So it's rather odd at times but just makes the film more lovable and enjoyable.

My rating for this is (very obviously) five out of five stars and I would and do recommend this film to anyone that lives and breaths. I cannot tell enough people to go and watch this film.
