Based on the beloved, best-selling book by Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Fantastic Mr. Fox is family fun at its finest.

Ratings and reviews

very American: championing professionals via the animals being a lawyer, accountant, narrative: a disadvantaged youth ct. a champion passable, but avoid if after something of the quality of Grand Budapest Hotel!

If god told me that Hell was actually just rewatching this movie over and over for eternity, I would still go to heaven but I would be a little sad abt the missed opportunity. Meaning I like the movie thx

This is a very VERY good film. The cinematography is impeckable, as is the animation, But that's is arguably not even the best part. The story handles it's themes very well, telling a story about self-acceptance, and exposing kids to a non-perfect ending. It is easy enough for kids to understand, is Mr Fx a wild animal who steals? or a journalist and husband? This is a film for everyone, not just kids, and a no doubt must-watch.
