     Mr. Fox has chosen to give up his life of bird stealing in a promise to his wife and becomes a newspaper writer. After leading a very dull rest of his life he decides to purchase a new house and soon gets caught up in his old ways when he discover's he lives near three farmers. After the farmers realize what is going on they decide to retaliate and attempt to kill Mr. Fox and his family. Check out "Fantastic Mr. Fox" to see their fight for survival.

     Witty dialogue and a very comical style of animation really set this movie apart from others. Fantastic Mr. Fox is amazing and has a superb cast which really help tie this masterpiece together. It was nominated for Best Animated Feature, and Best Original Score at the 82nd Academy Awards and lost to Pixar's animated film Up. As I watched this movie I was amazed at how much character was portrayed in these animated animals. The crazy eyes of Kyler Sven Opossm and the trademark "whistle and click" of Mr. Fox are just a couple of the little touches that really bring out the character's in this film and really instill them in your head.

     The voice acting in Fantastic Mr. Fox is phenomenal with great actors such as George Clooney (Mr. Fox), Meryl Streep (Mrs. Fox), and Bill Murray (Clive Badger). The comedy in this movie never seems to run dry. I let out some really good laughs during the movie, and it is pretty funny to see the situations Mr. Fox gets in and how he handles them. 

I did not read the book, I didn't even know it was based on a book, but I would say it does the book well. This is a great movie and can for sure provide entertainment for anyone.

I give it a 9 out of 10
