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.

Actually fantastic! submitted by andyer on February 26, 2012, 7:21pm Love this movie -- not for young kids, but lots of quirky humor enjoyable by older kids and adults.

Good submitted by jangmikyoung on July 19, 2012, 4:59pm I thought that this movie was pretty good on the most part. I would recommend this to anybody who likes Roald Dahl.

Okay submitted by leehannah on July 19, 2012, 5:00pm I didn't really like this movie. For some strange reason, everything in the movie just gave me head aches, but it was okay.

Amazing! submitted by sharrell on July 31, 2013, 10:00am It was a really good movie and silly.

Stop motion puppets at their best! submitted by Kikumatsu97 on August 13, 2014, 12:59pm Wes Anderson is the greatest film creator and writer of the last two decades. His films include Rushmore, The Darjeeling Limited, The Life Aquatic, and The Royal Tenenbaums to name a few monster achievements in motion picture mastery. Many were made into the Criterion Collection which recognizes the original art and detailed planning of his work. Completely original in their stories and plots, all follow a retro/vintage theme. Fantastic Mr. Fox is another script and artful collaboration with America and Britain's most talented actors. You can watch this movie ten times and each time discover some tiny detail you hadn't noticed before.
