Animation, excellent! The rest of it...

Rating: 3/10 (3 March 2012)

I loved the book when I read it, but the film? No... just no...
Fantastic Mister Fox doesn't need anything else added or changed about it. It doesn't need a weird lawyer, or exsplosives or anything... And when the cousin came to stay... I mean what was that?! I admit, I do love the stop animation in this film, its brilliant, but the rest of it... It seemed too Americanised. I mean, Roald Dahl, the writier of the book was English, it should have stayed English, and not strayed so much towards American. American voice actors would have been OK, and it animated by Americans would be OK, but the story was killed.
They should have stuck to the book a little more...
