I'll stick up for samholdsworth a tiny bit. I loved this film and the American actors etc. didn't bother me at all, because the voice work was superb, however some of the Americanisms - Garbage, possum, five and dime etc. did jar slightly, only because the setting was clearly England so it seemed a little strange, i almost would have preferred it if they had just set the film in the US instead.
@paulski1966 I uderstand whats samholdsworth is saying but they did let the British actors play the humans, while the american actors played the animals.
Roald Dahl was my absolute favorite author as a child, and Wes Anderson's movies are incredible. The combination of the two was genious, I wan't let down.
YES!!! man, this movie is cool as hell when you're high. the film is so beautiful and engrossing that it really makes you want to become a part of the world of Mr. Fox

pissed me off that this is a full on british story yet the american companys have taken it and made it america like so many other british creations. complete lack of respect for the story.
@samholdsworth what do you mean lack of respect? this movie looks like they spent alot of time paying respect to Mr Dahl and his book.
As for your complaint of Americanization of stories,
have you heard about a man named Shakespeare, who spent most of his career taking stories from around Europe and rewriting them to suit and english audience... i guess that goes to prove that this process of cultural appropriation can be done well... so give it a shot. (also... I agree, often hollywood sucks)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
shakespears made clear in which his stories were based you can tell by the a characters where the stories are based they were european stories told by a brit because although we were superpower at that time we still had respect for other countries. unlike you guys now
they just speak with american accents, if a british director did this maybe there could have been Brits but no one of the best American directors did it, it was great, if they were british it would not have made any difference
what i was getting a is it was based on British characters in britain so for it to americanized doesnt make any sense to me as it just doesnt seem like fantastic mr fox any more lol
also they filmed it in London animation studios... all the human characters look British (or at least caricatures or brits.) The cars drive on the left side. What more do you want? Do you think there was alot of British fist pumping in the book, the characters never say to each other, "I'm a british fox, god bless the queen" Badger replies "fuck the yanks". Nationalism has nothing to do with the story. Also the movie is incredible. I love it.
Uhh, they did have british actors in it. You must be talking about the main characters. Honestly, who cares, it obviously takes place in England. Dahl's wife obviously didn't care. It's just an accent!
The guy at 0:58 came to my Animation class and taught us the ways of Stop Motion :) We also got to see the motorbike scene with the green screen and the making of :3
yeah, it was great. We wanted to mimic this dance that's 30 seconds long and he didn't think we could, so we produced something pretty nice (can bee seen on my profile) at the end and he complemented us :A. We celebrated.
Prob my fav story ever growing up and not much beets it now ive read alot of books but nothing has that simplistic yet deap and emoitnal touch that that book had kinda embarresed to go see the movie now though im not exaclty at the right age for that but ill find a way to watch it before it comes out on dvd and it is too bad that people are hating on it because of its "atachment" to the furrys but w/e I like it for what it is and im a furry too so the hell with it :D srry for english im german.
what's wrong with being a certain age to see it? i went with a bunch of buddies and i was the youngest out of the group. I'm 19. We laughed and enjoyed I think more than anybody else there.
I didn't say it to be fashionable, and the fact that they consistently deliver inspired cinema has nothing to do with my statement. You spelled Roald Dahl wrong, and its stop action puppetry not animation. Please don't open your mouth when you have nothing productive or interesting to say.
it's not "stop action puppetry", i don't think such a thing exists, or even makes sense. true, we do refer them as puppets, but this film is "stop frame animation", you animate, stop, shoot a frame, or two, and then animate the next action. puppetry is when you move the characters at real time, either to an audience or to a live action camera. i hope that helps.
1. I wasn't saying that you were nitpicking about my spelling so your arguement is already dead
2. You spelled Roald Dahl wrong, the author of the freaking book, if you don't know how to spell it (or even correctly say Roald for that matter) I find it hard to make you out to be a reliable resource of information. Just me.
i think you're getting confused. i never even mentioned the author's name, and i think you mean, source of information, 'rescource' is do to with assets or personal inner abilities, not origins of information.
but seeing as the film was shot in london, seeing as i visited the set, went to the crew screening, know a lot of the people who made it and i work in stop frame animation, i'd think i was a fairly reliable source of information.
Alas I don't think it's making much money at all. It's being overshadowed by Up....which really isn't as good as Fantastic Mr Fox (seen it twice now) Then again i'm a stop motion animation student so i'm a tad bit biased!

I should not look down to the comments, hoping to see the ideas and opinions of fellow film lovers, and be treated with this unneeded SHENANIGANS!
I don't believe in God. Is that a problem? I don't arque with people like CentreOfReason does, or try to pick fights like that. Why can't people live and let live? Ignore him/her. Easiest way to make them shut up. And lets just try to enjoy the video, instead of arquing, ok? Don't hate on other people. Give a good name to us atheists, CentreOfGod. Not ones like that.
Wow and so Mature hey kid keep up that attitude its gives out a good vibe =) im sure ppl like you will live a good life Believe in God or not your a good person and the world should have more ppl like you =) keep it up
Go to a Woman's shelter.. or your Child Protective Services office and give them the print out of this thread and have them determine who the troll is.
It is estimate that 1 in 3 girls and 1 in 6 boys will be sexually abused before their 18th birthday.
Signing a petition asking for the release of a pedophile betrays children everywhere.
Boycotting a movie is one small way to send a message that we support prosecution of offenders.
wes put his name on a petition to release convicted child molester roman polanski. Boycott this movie.. do not support this unless he removes his name and apologizes for his lack of moral conviction.
BOYCOTT THIS MOVIE
Think of the children.. and all victims of rape. Make a moral stand.. if there is such a thing in America anymore.
CenterOfReason, you clearly are a troll who loves to stroll around like a moral policeman and tell everyone to boycott a director who signed a petition that wants Polanski freed because of the nature of how he was arrested, not because of the crime he committed 30 years ago (which no sane person would defend, including the defenders of that petition).
I, for one, am planning to see this movie when it comes out because it looks good. Boycotting this movie because of a director not only makes you childish and immature, it makes you look like an idiot!
This movie does look good. I personally don't care who directed it. I love the book. Love the author. But Centerofreason is getting out of control. You are right about the boycott thing.
CenterOfReason, are you God? Or Jesus? What makes you the Center Of Reason? Get off of your high horse. Who are you to judge and what makes you so holy to think that you have the right to pass judgment? You read like a self centered morals spewing buffoon.
There is no God.. people like you prove it. We are the only ones that can protect the helpless and stand for what is right.
High horse.. self centered..? wtf are you reading. I guess I should not expect much from a woody allen fan. Seems you are drawn to kid diddlers and their apologist.
People didn't sign that petition because of what Polanski did... they signed it because of the nature of the arrest, and the fear that it would cause unintended consequences on the artistic community.
wes y did u add your name to that roman polankski list,i am a huge fan u have disappointed me, rape is a horrible crime..mr fox does look great though
Wes Anderson is such a charming chap. There is a very soft, whimsical, 'english' vibe to alot of his work, i cant think of anyone better to do Dahl's book.
