Fantastic Mr. Fox: Thank you Wes Anderson for this great cussing movie! The film is adapted from Roald Dahl's 1970 children's book and is voiced by George Clooney, Meryl Streep, and Bill Murray. It is the kind of movie you will watch with a smile on your face from start to finish. This is because of the whimsical world Anderson creates on screen by using witty dialogue and stop-motion animation, not to mention how much this world mirrors human life. For example, Mr. Fox and his family buy a new property in a tree which is to say they are moving from a garden apartment (a hole in the ground) into a new condo that has spectacular views. Eventually Mr. Fox realizes that he needs danger in his life to be happy, so he concocts a plan to rob three farmers. This angers the farmers who in turn make it their mission to kill Mr. Fox. From there more silliness and humor ensues. The show stealer may just be Jason Schwartzman who voices Ash, Mr. Fox's son who is....well.....different. Wes Anderson fans will love this latest effort as will kids who will enjoy the movie on a different level. Charming, funny.......just cussing FANTASTIC!
