Fantastic Mr Fox 4118 "Legacy Action Kylie Figure

Product Information

This, among many, is Anderson’s primary gift: the ability to upholster a film in magnificent fabrics through which we see – in relief rather than apertures – the shapes of terrible beasts moving around, all the more disturbing for their obscurity. The cleanliness and precision of each Anderson world – The Belafonte, Rushmore Academy, The Grand Budapest – only render more distressing the inelegant sadnesses they seek to keep at bay: self-disgust, heartbreak, grief, war. Thanksgiving is upon us once again. It’s an American holiday of ubiquitous iconography and tradition: the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the NFL on CBS , and a countrywide feast of biblical proportions. For better or worse, most of us eagerly anticipate our chance to participate in the American myth-making machine, every time the fourth Thursday in November rolls around. But if asked to provide a list of movies that epitomize the truest essence of Thanksgiving, most of us would probably start to run out of examples after perhaps John Hughes’ ‘Planes, Trains, and Automobiles’ and maybe a few others. One movie that most people likely overlook in this discussion is Wes Anderson’s ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ , which, dare I say, is a fantastic exemplification of the essential themes for which the notion of Thanksgiving was originally conceived – those themes being: the importance of family (blood or chosen), building a sense of community through the sharing of food and resources, and a concerted effort to appreciate who we are, what we have, and more importantly, who we have in this wild world.

In style and sensibility, this is really a Wes Anderson film, with little Dahl. It's missing the darker elements that characterize Dahl's books. There you find the whiff of something nasty: child abuse, violence, misogyny. Gone, too, is any sense of danger. Even the farmers, who are made to look a touch evil, don't seem capable of it. We never feel the tension of watching the Fox family facing real peril. The film certainly has Americanized Dahl's story, and I don't mean the fact that the good animals have American accents and the baddies have British ones. It offers yet another celebration of difference and a lesson on the importance of being yourself. But it does leave you thinking: isn't it time that children's films put children first?

Anderson injects such charm and wit, such personality and nostalgia—evident in the old-school animation, storybook settings and pitch-perfect use of Burl Ives—that it's easy to forgive his self-conscious touches. [35] The film had its world premiere as the opening film of the 53rd edition of the London Film Festival on October 14, 2009. [22] 20th Century Fox released it theatrically the following month on November 13. But this crazy effort in bringing to life Roald Dahl's story of a sly fox, is pretty much worth every frame of it. The man hours and intricate designs are something of an old school technique when compared to the latest computer wizardry, but you'll be amazed at what director Wes Anderson and his team managed to come up with, complete with a solid story, likable characters, and plenty of fun.
