Fantastic Mr. Fox Trailer

Director Wes Anderson is well known for his oddball comedies such as Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums. Now he is bringing his unique flavor to the stop-motion animated film with The Fantastic Mr Fox. Based on a book by acclaimed children’s novelist Ronald Dahl, the movie includes the voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson and Jason Schwartzman. The Fantastic Mr. Fox is slated to release on Thanksgiving.

Mr and Mrs Fox live an idyllic home life with their son Ash and visiting young nephew Kristopherson. But after 12 years, the bucolic existence proves too much for Mr Fox’s wild animal instincts. Soon he slips back into his old ways as a sneaky chicken thief and in doing so, endangers not only his beloved family, but the whole animal community. Trapped underground and with not enough food to go around, the animals band together to fight against the evil Farmers — Boggis, Bunce and Bean — who are determined to capture the audacious, fantastic Mr Fox at any cost.
