They say you can’t outsmart the farmers—but nobody told Mr. Fox. Wes Anderson’s The Fantastic Mr. Fox scampers back to The Frida just in time for Thanksgiving.
George Clooney voices Mr. Fox, a dashing ex-thief turned family fox who can’t resist one last heist against the fearsome trio of farmers Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. When his plan goes spectacularly awry, Fox and his eccentric woodland neighbors must band together to outwit their human enemies and dig their way to freedom.
Adapted from Roald Dahl’s classic story, Anderson’s version is both faithful and boldly his own—every frame a diorama of autumnal wonder, every line of dialogue dry and delightful. With a pitch-perfect cast (Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe), Alexandre Desplat’s jazzy score, and stop-motion that feels alive with personality, Fantastic Mr. Fox is a triumph of craft and heart.
