The Fantastic Mr Fox - 2009 * * * 1/5


Dig the Life Fantastic.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this movie as I have been a fan of Roald Dahl's work for years. This movie is aimed more at the mature fans of his work as opposed to the children but there still is something for everyone.
After getting trapped in a net with his pregnant wife trying to steal a chicken from Mr Boggis's farm, Mr Fox swears to her that if they make it out alive he will never go back to his old ways.
12 Years later and his cousin and the son come to stay and Mr Fox decides to plan the biggest robbery of his life, but it will come at a price.

Very good animation/puppetry and some unforgettable voices. It certainly gives a whole new take on the Mr Fox that I loved as a child.
