Fantastic Mr. Fox
Wes Anderson’s cool quirks and characteristics follow him into the land of stop-motion animation with this eye-popping, hilarious adaptation of the Roald Dahl children’s book. This is essentially a Wes Anderson movie (Rushmore, Bottle Rocket) with eccentric humans replaced by eccentric figurines. It even has the trademark awesome Wes Anderson soundtrack, featuring artists like the Rolling Stones and Jarvis Cocker. The title character, a plucky fox, is voiced by the eternally funny George Clooney, who embodies Mr. Fox with a devilish charm and sense of humor. Mrs. Fox has the soothing vocal strains of Meryl Streep; throw into the mix Anderson mainstays Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray and Owen Wilson, as well as Michael Gambon as an evil farmer, and you have a winner.
