(Dir. Wes Anderson 2009)
PG, in terms of content I think it's fine to watch, but for small children the animation style might honestly be a little to freaky. So I really enjoyed this movie. I honestly expected this to be one of Wes Anderson's earlier movies after watching it. Despite his character's not technically being real, animated and all that, they show more emotion than any of the characters in his other films. I'm not saying this as a criticism of his other movies, I love those too, but this was an interesting difference. What I really loved is how much depth each of the character's in the Fantastic Mr. Fox had. Despite its subtlety, each character had clear motivations for what they did. Wes Anderson's plots are generally pretty fantastical (pardon the pun), but it's easy to lose yourself in this film, not questioning the more outlandish moments, because in the character's eyes everything they do makes sense, and so it does to the viewer too. As always, I loved the color scheme in this movie. I think Wes Anderson stuck to more natural earthy tones in this movie, instead of his usual pastels, because it was set in nature. I mean the main characters lived in a tree for heaven's sake. The color palette still seemed distinctly Wes Anderson though, probably because of all the careful planning to make sure it blends together seamlessly.
