I have a phobia of wolves

Rating: 7/10 (10 November 2009)

I am an English girl and Roald Dahl was a hero of mine when I was growing up. Wes Anderson is one of my favourite directors but the combination of American retro-styling with traditional English children's fiction is a little contrived for my taste. The highlight of the movie was the psychotic break during the finale scenes, when Fantastic Mr Fox is driving a motorbike with sidecar and abruptly stops next to a mountainous backdrop and sees the outline of a wolf. Despite unsuccessful attempts at communication the scene is a wonderful example of deranged film making. Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah. Blah blah blah.
