Review


Mr. Fox is asked to put his wild ways behind him as he is now a father. A few fox-years later he could not resist the call to do just one, or three, more raids. I love the weirdness of this film. Weird because none of the animals are proportional compared to real animals, why is a rat taller than a fox? Hilarious. The fact that despite these animals wearing suits and cute outfits while walking around on two legs they sometimes switch into this animalistic faze and snarl and growl and gobble up toast like a beast! I love it!! Fantastic Mr. Fox is super cute, yes I said super cute, funny and has a moral in there somewhere but I'm pretty sure it's not stealing is just, right?

Favorite Quote
Badger: In summation, I think you just got to not do it man. That's all.
Mr. Fox: I understand what you're saying, and your comments are valuable, but I'm gonna ignore your advice.
Badger: The cuss you are.
Mr. Fox: The cuss am I? Are you cussing with me?
Badger: No, you cussing with me?
Mr. Fox: Don't cussing point at me!
Badger: If you're gonna cuss with somebdoy, you're not gonna cuss with me, you little cuss!
Mr. Fox: You're not gonna cuss with me!
[Both start snarling at each other, then settle down]
Mr. Fox: Just buy the tree.
Badger: Okay
