Not recommended for kids

Rating: 7/10 (28 November 2009)

Fantastic Mr. Fox is not a bad movie. It is a bit like Ocean's Eleven only animated, which means it is okay but nothing to get too excited about. While the movie has several shortcoming, its main problem is that it is not for kids. While many animated movies contain content for adults to keep them from getting completely bored while catering mostly for the target audience - that is, kids - this movie is for adults only and kids (and by that I mean anyone under 14) will likely get bored. The story is too complex for kids to follow and there is no real action to speak of that will get kids excited. I sum, it is an okay grown-up movie for the DVD but nothing more.
