I'm going to start off by saying I love Wes Anderson films (Royal Tenebaums, Darjeeling Limited, Rushmore, and so forth). He's one of my favorite film makers, he has yet to disappoint with his films. They are all so good.
Fantastic Mr Fox is definitely in the classic Wes Anderson film category. The biggest difference of the film is the obvious stop motion claymation/animation production of the film. And usually I'm not a fan of it, but in this one it incredibly worked. It was, no pun intended, a fantastic film.
The voice actors were all great; George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson, and more that were just exceptional. You can never go wrong with actors that Anderson casts. He does such a good job, of bringing together and exceptional cast. Sure a lot of the time he uses the same people but thats what so good about his stuff the continutiy of actors and just the fact that he balances them all so well in the films.
Plot wise, it was really good and cute. Typical hero saving the day but making bad choices in doing so. The main character, Mr.Fox is rebel character that does what he can for his family while living his life the best he can. Without giving away to much, it's a very thoughful story with touching and great comedic moments. A very enjoyable movie overall, strongly recommended to all. The only reason I took away a point is because there were some really slow moments, but not enough to completely take a lot away.
In the End, I'd give this movie 9/10
