Fantastic Mr. Fox

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2019)

Fantastic Mr. Fox is a masterpiece of cinema. I do not indulge in many Wes Anderson films but this however is an exception. It gives hope to the future of stop-motion and will hold up forever. The cinematography is absolutely phenomenally creative and beautiful throughout as well as the lighting and use of stop-motion elements. Everything is stop motion, from the smoke to the water; you would never notice. It is all of the small details that happen simultaneously that make it feel so real. The cast brings so much emotion to the characters and George Clooney and Meryl Streep do a beautiful job playing a fox that is both civilized and (wait for it) a wild animal.
The chapter names as well are a nice reference back to the book.
