Fantastic Mr. Fox

Fledermaus · 08-01-2009, 05:50 PM

Based on the classic Roald Dahl book! Coming to a theater near you this fall...

The Trailer

They cast Americans to play the good guys, and Brits to play the baddies -- Roald Dahl was British...

The animals wear human clothes and have miniature human homes underground.

The stop-motion kinda scares the hell out of me.

I think this is really cute. I'm going keep an open mind about the stop motion because I think that's what this movie is going for, the "classic" style, I guess. It kind of reminds me of the old Rudolph and Frosty movies.

Yeah, the stop motion scares the hell outta me too.

This is really cute. And I virtually grew up on stop-motion films, the Rankin Bass ones like Rudolph, Frosty, Year Without Santa, so it doesn't bother me.

Never read the book, but with Wes Anderson directing I'll be there opening day. He hasn't steered me wrong yet.

I think I will have to see this one!

It looks like it's smartly written and obviously has a very good cast...I think I'd go to see this one.

Traffic jams will be a thing of the past. I see a place where people get on and off the freeway. On and off, off and on all day, all night! Soon there will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food! Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see! My God... It'll be beautiful.
