Fantastic Mr. Fox - Bedroom Scene Ash and Kristofferson

[FerroUK]

Something that I just found out which makes the scene even more amazing to me, all credit goes to YouTube user BasementBeginnings for sharing this. Here is what they posted elsewhere about this scene:

'Kristofferson didn't cry only because Ash was being a spoiled brat to him.

He cried when Burl Ives sang the lyrics "the old woman died of the whoopin' cough" because it reminded him of his father who was ill from pneumonia.'

I love the way Ash apologises and the way Kristofferson accepts it.

@FerroUK And many thanks to you for replying, and bringing me back here to revisit this beautiful scene from one of my all-time favorite animated films. I also appreciate the mention. Be well, my friend! :D

ash and kristofferson make this movie complete but if kristofferson is supposed to be the perfect little angel then why when you first ever see him in the film he is wearing a Swiss army knife on his shorts???

Plans to kill them ALL !!!

[Elric1011]

Awww, Ash cheered him up :3

[keran10]

awww.. i feel for Kristofferson

[angeleenalikesmakeup]

i think he put the train on because he felt bad for making kristofferson cry and he wanted to cheer him up :)

[PerishJustinBieber]

Ash turns the train on because he feels bad about making him cry. He wants to appear tough on the inside because he feels alone and different, and feels that people see his being different as a bad thing. He's a very misunderstood character and you'll see that towards the end of the movie.

Aww, its like his own little way of apoligizing...

[LIZfeckinRULES]

I really take it as Ash apologizing and not being mean. If he was being mean, he would have crawled back into bed instead of watching the train with Kristofferson.

[JDlamusique]

@LIZfeckinRULES

I agree.

[reinbow143]

@WillGotti yes I have watched the movie this scene is just confusing to me because I do not know if its more of an apology rather than Ashe being mean. That's all

[reinbow143]

@UncleFizzmo that's what it seems like until they sit and watch the train together

[SuperJacker45]

Repair that Kristofferson uses pajamas when sleeping but doesn't take off his sneakers. Is this an efpic fail or purposely?

[SuperJacker45]

Look at the fan at left! LOL

[SuperJacker45]

"Sleep whathever you want, man... here, take my bed! I'll crawl in the bookcase. Who cares if I get splinters in my ears?"

[therealcritic28]

Anyone else think the title sounded dirty?

[reinbow143]

like why is ash such a jerk lol why did he even turn the train on

[WillGotti]

@reinbow143 Kristofferson is that perfect cousin that does everything better than Ash and his parents like him. So basically Ash is very jealous of him. If you haven't seen the movie check it out. It's awesome.

[reinbow143]

@WillGotti Yes I have watched this movie countless times. I am just confused as to the purpose of him turning the train on. I am not sure if it was an apologetic type thing or just Ash being Ash

[UncleFizzmo]

@reinbow143 How do you not get it? He turned on the train so he didn't have to hear him cry.
