Wes Anderson's Humor Fits Perfectly in a Children's Classic?

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2009)

How did they pull this off? The movie is chock full of low brow, a-typical Wes Anderson adult humor. Yet, the stop-action animation, the characters, and a great deal of restraint from the director, has magically turned Fantastic Mr. Fox into an instant children's and adult classic.
Dare I say this is the funniest Wes Anderson film? It's at least on par with my previous favorite, Rushmore. There is some criticism here about the precision of the adaptation, regardless, it is Wes Anderson's screenplay that sells this movie. I have not read the book, but I'm sure that some sense of heart was moved over to this theatrical version.
The voice overs and mouth animation is spectacular. I don't think people realize how difficult it was to make this movie. The stop-action look and feel is what will sell the kids, and Anderson's screenplay will sell adults.
See this movie.
