It's a solidly entertaining, joyful ride, driven along by a masterful score from Alexandre Desplat, and featuring wonderful voicework across the board.

Once again, Wes Anderson focuses on the theme of family. It is interesting to observe the extreme detail with which he defines each of his characters. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 2, 2024

That Anderson made Fantastic Mr. Fox very obviously his film, both in the thematic and visual realms, in a medium comparatively out of the ordinary to his other works, speaks to his ability as an auteur.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 30, 2023

One of the great stop-motion films in the medium’s history, Fantastic Mr. Fox is all at once a deliriously great Roald Dahl adaptation and an achievement in finding something wildly original in the adaptation process.

... you’ve got a Wes Anderson storybook. In other words, a kid’s movie for grown-ups.

A fantastic tale about our inner nature and how we create or not community.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 13, 2022

Bemusing or beguiling, depending on your previous exposure to Wes Anderson, however there is no doubting that this is a bravura piece of film-making and, well, truly fantastic entertainment for the whole family.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 16, 2021

It's clear that Wes' beautiful brain goes in fresh directions when it comes to animation versus live action.

| Apr 28, 2021

A marvelous marriage of Wes Anderson's trademark wry humor and a visually striking stop-motion animation style reminiscent of Jan Svankmajer.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 28, 2020

A work of pure animated joy that smacks of Andersonian stylings but doesn't seem to strain under the weight of its own subterranean yearning to be wild, alive, passionate and still compassionate.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 12, 2020

Anderson adds a bit of an existential twist onto the story.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 7, 2020

There's always a gag, a visual, a line delivery or something else happening on-screen to capture your interest, and you could watch it half-a-dozen times and still not capture every detail.

Fantastic Mr. Fox is nothing short of fantastic fun!!!!!

| Nov 7, 2019

One of the most distinctive, entertaining and flat-out fun movies I've seen in a long time, a great piece of holiday family filmmaking that doesn't insult the intelligence.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 16, 2019

It's one of my favorite Wes Anderson films.

| Jul 2, 2019

In what has been a banner year for animation, Anderson's work stands among the very best.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 6, 2019

I'm not sure how many kids will get a lot of the film's sharp dialogue, but I think the simple story and animation will be enough to satisfy them. As for the adults, anyone looking for humor will almost certainly be pleased.

| Original Score: B+ | May 11, 2019

The heightened world of foxes, marriage, family, greed, and mid-life crisis became one of Anderson's greatest works.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 27, 2019

Few children will be drawn to this movie. Of those few, though, there will be some who resonate with Anderson's spare, witty vision and clutch it to their hearts the way they do the story it sprang from.

A real gem.
