Â
Witty & inventive adaptation of Roald Dahl's
children's book using stop-motion animation which suit the material well.Â
The voice actors give the characters much personality as
Mr. Fox tries in vain to put aside his hunting roots and be a family man, but temptation is simply too much when he moves into a new home opposite three farms.
Wes Anderson's quirky style in his previous films may have
dissuaded some viewers from checking this one out, but this is very much worth watching, especially if you're a fan of Roald Dahl's original book.
