Paramount at the Movies Presents: Fantastic Mr. Fox [PG]

Fantastic Mr. Fox is the story of a clever, quick, nimble, and exceptionally well-dressed wild animal. A compulsive chicken thief turned newspaper reporter, Mr. Fox settles down with his family in a new foxhole in a beautiful tree—directly adjacent to three enormous poultry farms owned by three ferociously vicious farmers: Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. Mr. Fox simply cannot resist. Wes Anderson’s adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s novel is a meticulous work of stop-motion animation featuring vibrant performances by George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Willem Dafoe, Michael Gambon, and Bill Murray.

Did you know?

• When Mr. Fox (George Clooney) and Kylie (Wallace Wolodarsky) are in Fox’s study going over the plans for the first heist, Fox is sitting in a large armchair with a board on the armrests that he is using as a table for his microphone. This is exactly how Roald Dahl used to write his stories based on old photographs.
• CGI was only used in one scene— the flooding of the flint mine.
• The color scheme of this movie is primarily autumnal (yellows, oranges, and browns) with virtually no green and blue. However, Kristofferson’s (Eric Chase Anderson’s) blue-colored wardrobe was intentional, as it emphasized his being a visiting outsider.
