Fantastic Mr. Fox Review

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2017)

I am finishing up reviewing every Wes Anderson film and this is one of the easiest 10/10 ratings I ever had to give.
Fantastic Mr. Fox is a perfect example of Wes Anderson's fun loving, darkly comedic style. This film is a beauty to look at, each character and setting is beautifully lit and presented in a perfect frame. It really goes along with the source material that Roald Dahl created years ago.
The comedy which is something that Wes Anderson excels at it at top notch, I laugh at every single joke, whether it be supported by the quick whip pans or smash zooms or just great delivery of dialogue, I am on the floor laughing. The acting is also a great element in this film, George Clooney and Meryl Streep shine as the Fox mother and father, you feel they are real, even though it is an animation.
Speaking of Animation, this films stop motion is revolutionary. It is perfect, it also is the perfect kind of medium for Wes Anderson's tightly constructed atheistic. The movements are funny and alive, and the way they create these worlds feel large but, also comfy and homey.
All these things are great but, what stands out is Wes Anderson's ability to bring heart and a message into the film. It talks about growing up, making your family proud, and trying to find your own way. The film will touch everyone from age 1 to 100.
An amazing masterpiece 10/10 and 5/5.
