Rohld Dahl and Wes Anderson = WIN

Rating: 8/10 (17 December 2009)

I loved the book Fantastic Mr Fox, I love dry humour. The combination was just perfect, it was like what would have really happened if Roald Dahl had added all the tiny intricacy's of fox family life. This is film making at its best, no shiny bells and whistles, just take a story and expand on it and bring it to life. Roald Dhal would have been proud because he was a pretty warped man with a dry sense of humour. There was so much to see in this film, tiny details that if u blink you would miss. The hilarity of them digging and the premise of their lifestyle as wild animals is just genius and just works. Wes Anderson just tells story's how they should be told, there is a reality to his work that separates his films from all the trash that you usually watch. Its the sort of thing that wouldn't work with every film but when he gets it right it works so well. I have to give this an 8/10 for originality, style and overall humour. I will most definitely buy this on DVD and sit and watch after a night out with friends. I can't say that about many other Wes Anderson films.
