Mr. and Mrs. Fox live a happy home life underground with their eccentric son Ash. Mr. Fox works as a journalist, but against the advice of Badger, his attorney, he moves his family into a larger and finer home inside a tree on a hill. The treehouse has an excellent view of the nearby farms of Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. Ash becomes hostile when his cousin, Kristofferson, joins the family for an extended stay. Mr. Fox decides to raid the farms, but this leads the farmers to stakeout the treehouse. The farmers try to dig the Fox family out, but they dig even faster. Mr. Fox organizes a tunneling project to burrow under all three farms and steal all the chickens, ducks, geese and turkeys.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Expect some nonsense submitted by SarahRose on June 1, 2010, 10:46am I think as long as you go into this movie expecting Wes Anderson and Roald Dahl's different styles of nonsense you won't be able to help enjoying yourself. It's not exactly Dahl's story, it's got a lot of Anderson's personality added to make it a full length film. It's funny and quirky. Clooney's Mr. Fox feels a little too close to Danny Ocean, but I still had fun.

LOL submitted by tree64 on June 3, 2010, 4:45pm Funny LOL. Not very exciting though.

Coulda Shoulda submitted by drouhardte on June 22, 2011, 12:55pm Considering the director and the talent and the limitless possibility of animation, this should've been so much better. It's fine. But Mr. Fox continues the downward trend in Anderson's oeuvre after Life Aquatic. 'Meh' at its most 'meh,' adjusting for expectations.

OK submitted by nfrassrand on June 24, 2011, 10:56am It's ok. I think that kids would like it, but not love it.

Fox submitted by honordenver on June 27, 2011, 7:02pm This movie was good but I have seen better. The book was way better then the movie and the movie kept some parts out.

Unusual submitted by gem on July 6, 2018, 11:33pm This was an unusual movie, but I liked it. It had quite a bit of quirkiness to it. I had a few times that I was on my seat edge thinking that fox was going to be extinct.

Crazy Wild submitted by spomrank on July 15, 2018, 2:40pm Mr. Fox loves his french toast! I recommend this movie highly.
