Really funny and at times touching.

Rating: 9/10 (18 February 2019)

For a debut in animation, Fantastic Mr. Fox delivered more than expected. The voice cast was top-notch, the humour was sophisticated and the story quite unique. I don't know about the book it is based on, I only review it as a movie.
Mr. Fox's longing for old times when he was on top of the game of stealing chickens really gets him and his fellow animal friends into trouble with the farmers who deal with it in a quite brutal way to be honest, but the execution of the story with the humour added makes the ride very enjoyable.
The music was also very well composed and added much to the atmosphere of the rural setting and the different situations the main characters end up getting themselves into.
I especially liked the subplot of Mr. Fox's son and nephew. That part was one of the major reasons this movie also has its heartfelt moments and an uplifting message about teamwork and that being is not a crime.
Immensely enjoyable with an appeal to both kids and adults.
