A young Mr. Fox makes a promise to his wife that he will give up his thievery career path now that they are expecting a cub. Flash forward; he is working as a newspaper columnist and totally unsatisfied with life. He secretly starts to get back into his old ways, causing a stir and eventually all out war between the animal community and the local farmers.
This is a total Wes Anderson film. Think The Royal Tenenbaums meets Chicken Run. I thought the movie was quite clever and funny, having said that, the comedy itself is so subtle I doubt small children would appreciate this for anything more than the visual effects.
The voice casting was perfect. George Clooney is fabulous, as is, Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman. Somewhat forgettable in terms of a animated flick, yet exactly what one would expect from Wes Anderson…including the lengthy running time.
* * ½ Rentable
Rated PG (for violence)
