FANTASTIC MR. FOX (Theatrical Release USA 2009)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.7|5.0 Starsìììì

Fantastic Mr. Fox—classic Roald Dahl story brought to the movie screen—becomes re-watchable from its opening scene due to the imaginative, creative presentation of this children’s story. A WOW! Bravo! animated film that has a great storyline as told through voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, and Willem Dafoe. It completely deserves its place in the family home video collection. Director Wes Anderson orchestrates this film with finesse.
