Quite creepy if you ask me....

There's a very specific and well-known demographic that are absolutely going to love this movie...

you mean the people that dress up and make the sexy time don't you?

I like it. It looks old-fashioned and charming.

It's my favorite Roald Dahl book, so I am, of course, disappointed that it doesn't exactly match what I see in my head when I think of the story.

But, since I'm a grownup, I think it looks like a lot of fun and I can't wait to see it.

I'm actually quite dissapointed, and creeped out. Roald Dahl and Wes Anderson seemed like a good match....

I found the trailer to be a little dissapointing. But it could be that it's just a shitty trailer. I really do like the look of the film.

The voice acting also bothers me. I keep hearing the dissembodied voices of George Clooney and Bill Murray. They don't seem to come from the characters.

Still though, it's an animated Wes Anderson film, I still want to see if it works.

If I hadn't known that Wes Anderson was attached to this thing and just took it at face value for what it was, I would say this looks like absolute garbage and I don't think I'm alone.

*whistles* chkk-chkk

Looks good.
I like that Mr Fox has the same writing-chair/lap-table setup as Roald Dahl.

I think the characters look like cartooned taxidermy. Like a guy sitting in his basement making an animated film out of all the dead animals he found.

That' exactly what I thought. They look stuffed. Brambly Hedge does too, but it's the cutest series of animal stop-motion you've ever seen. This is not even cute. This is... lack of design.
For the moment. I'm going to watch the movie even so, it's Roal Dahl/Wes Anderson after all.

what the film seems to lack MAINLY, is voice acting. This link here seems to be rather effortless in comparison. Sure this new fantastic Mr Fox is by no means rubbish but
you would think Wes Craven had his eye more on the ball ... then again George Lucas
has been consistantly pissing on his own shoes recently and not very long ago I
thought he was made out of pure magic.

Basically it's nit picking by someone like me who will never go and see this mr fox job
because I hark for something that isn't americanised to the point where it just sounds like
every other bloody thing that comes out. Nothing wrong with americanised stuff but
there is a problem with everything being the same 'hey that's great, high five' shite.

besides, I pretty much put myself beyond even commenting when what i really dig is
this eccentric nonsense... Willy Rushton and all the lads
