REVIEW: "The Fantastic Mr. Fox"
View comments | Post a comment

The first reassurance of "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" is that it is very much in the tone and spirit of filmmaker Wes Anderson’s other films. This is the coolest animated film of the year, one of the reasons it dazzles is the fact that stop-motion animation is so rare. But when stop-motion is done well it feels like the fanciest art form out there. Anderson isn’t going for fancy though (but he achieves it anyway with his impeccable craft), he’s going for hip.
