Wes' Idiosyncrasies Animated

Rating: 8/10 (6 May 2019)

Not since "Bottle Rocket", "Rushmore" and "The Royal Tenenbaums" have I enjoyed Anderson's work. The animation is captivating. The plot revolves around a fox who breaks a promise to his wife and continues to raid three local farmers for chickens because it's his natural instinct. The farmers decide to unite and put an end to the culprit once and for all which endangers the fox's family and friends. At this point the fox's natural instinct for survival kicks in and he cleverly sets out a plan to save his loved ones. This movie is clever, witty, quirky, heartwarming and insightful. It contains all of Anderson's idiosyncrasies. I believe Anderson is asking why do we act on some of our natural human instincts? Why can't we resist and be willing to change? I do enjoy all of his works, this is a fun filled joy ride and ranks at the top of his masterful artwork.
