This is such a tough year for me to root for my favorite animation film of 2009.
There is a cornucopia of these splendid pictures honestly. I thought UP is the front runner but Coraline is also a beardown contender. Fantastic Mr. Fox is also digging a hole so fast to reach the finish line first. I believe “The Princess and the Frog” is also leaping hurdles just to grab that statuette. I'm befuddled you know. But for now, let me brag to you this bewitching fox. He is indeed fantastic in every way. 
FILM PREMISE: Mr. Fox (voice of George Clooney) has a sharp talent for getting out of scrapes in pursuit of chicken stealing - although after a near-miss some years earlier when Mrs. Fox (Meryl Streep) announced she was pregnant, he had vowed to stop living dangerously. But surrounded by temptation - a chicken farm, a squab farm and a cider distillery - he again succumbs to the thrill of the chase - and gets his family and some of their nigh wildlife, into heaps of trouble. The farmers, led by Franklin Bean (Michael Gambon) decide to put an end to him once and for all.
I've read the book from Roald Dahl just last year because it was a freebie from a box of breakfast cereals.
The film stays true to the source but this adaptation is simply wild. This is not a film intended for kids. 
Though it looks like a kids flick but this one is quiet aphotic for the innocent minds. The film has a low redeeming value.
The film has no moral lessons to learn except forgiveness since it teaches theft as one form of living and it's OK to do it according to the movie. But the way Wes Anderson makes the film so colorful, kids can simply ignore the consequential virtuousness which is always present in Disney films.
Fantastic Mr. Fox aims for the tougher kids. It's all about vim and wackiness anyway. The nifty script is one of my bets for Best Adapted Screenplay this awarding season. The offbeat humor is really mind blowing. 
Doing a stop-motion animation takes a lot of time and hard work.
I salute Wes Anderson's team on their fantastic job. The film is perfectly vivacious as Anderson and his team have pictured the sets and characters with surprising details. The animation is alive.
The characters move from frame to frame impeccably. If you've seen Wallace & Grommit, The Night Before Christmas and Coraline, it's the same painstaking technique.
I'm truly amazed with the realistic furs of the characters. They don't look plasticky at all. The soundtrack is absolutely awesome and that song from Jarvis Cocker is definitely a guffaw-hitter. 
Mr Fox is comedically voiced by George Clooney . He is one of sexiest men in the world and in this film his voice makes the fox so hot.
Ha ha ha! There are a number of famous actors doing the voices, including the following, the immaculate Meryl Streep (Mrs. Fox) 
, Wes Anderson (weasel, who also directs this film), Owen Wilson (coach Skip), Bill Murray (Badger), Willem Dafoe (rat), and Michael Gambon (farmer Bean). But I find Jason Schwartzman as Ash the most remarkable from the rest. 
It's just depressing that Fantastic Mr. Fox has a limited run in our country.
Only Few Ayala Cinemas are showing it right now. I don't know if it will be extended next year. Fantastic Mr. Fox is a sure fire winner in every aspect. The big question: which film will win in the Oscars? I have no idea. Bur for now, please let Mr Fox and his family entertain you.
