Definitely gets better with multiple viewings

Rating: 10/10 (29 April 2013)

When I first saw "Fantastic Mr Fox" back when it was first released, I did like it, but didn't think it was amazing. However, multiple viewings since have allowed me to reappraise the film, and it has now become one of my favourite films. I think I initially expected it to be a fairly straight adaptation of the Roald Dahl original (a modern classic I, along with many others in the UK, grew up with), something I should have realised it wouldn't necessarily be given Wes Anderson's unique way of fingerprinting his films. Upon successive viewings, I realised that Anderson had simply reinterpreted Dahl's vision in his own unique, beautiful fashion, and by doing so made it Dahl-esque in other ways. Definitely recommended.
