Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
Wes Anderson’s funniest film.
Presentation:
When Wes Anderson does stop motion, his storybook style because even more unrestrained with his clever silliness. For an animation based on Roald Dahl’s book, the humor is quite adult and should surprise you by how funny it is. It’s also wonderfully animated and an absolute blast from start to finish. This is honestly the films Wes Anderson should be making as this format enhances his theatrical style of filmmaking sensibilities. It makes you wonder why he doesn’t do more films like this.
Conclusion:
For those on the fence for Wes Anderson, you can relax as this is a universally appealing film with less obstructive presentation, which finally complement his storytelling style. This should make you see stop motion in a new light and respect it as a more serious medium for cinema. Can definitely be considered groundbreaking, and fantastic.
