Wes Anderson’s first foray into animation is a wonderful, charming adaptation of Roahl Dahl’s classic children’s book in which the cunning and crafty Mr Fox wages a war of wits against three dastardly farmers.
Featuring a characteristically all-star Anderson cast list as long as one of Franklin Bean’s spindly arms, George Clooney, Bill Murray, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Owen Wilson, Willem Dafoe, Jarvis Cocker, Juman Malouf and Michael Gambon and more provide the character in their creaturely voice roles.
