Fantastic Mr. Fox

Fantastic Mr. Fox is an almost hallucinogenic trip into the weird and wonderful world of director Wes Anderson. Based on a book by Ronald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), it’s the story of a fox who is forced to give up his wild chicken-stealing ways when he finds out his mate is expecting a cub. He settles down, gets a regular job – as a newspaper columnist -- and moves his new family out of their burrow and into a better house. But try as he might, he just can’t seem to keep his wilder side at bay, and his need to feed on stolen chicken soon creeps back into his life.
