Fantastic Mr. Fox

Fantastic Mr. Fox

5:30pm - Saturday, Jul 14, 2018

"That was pure wild animal craziness."

Based on the beloved children's book 'Fantastic Mr. Fox' by Roald Dahl, director Wes Adnerson's animated adaptation is a delightfully charming and completely entertaining tale of an urbane fox ("vulpus vulpus") who returns to his former farm-raiding ways and helps his community of animal friends survive the local farmers' retaliation. Anderson assembled the vocal talents of many of his regular cohorts, including George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, Willem Dafoe, Owen Wilson and more.

"Visually, the movie is a wonder, with its profusion of detail and exquisitely focused "performances" by the figurines, whom Anderson frames in images as precisely composed as those in his live-action work." (The New Yorker)
