"Fantastic Mr. Fox"
16 years ago
I saw this movie the other day and liked it a lot. You don't see a whole lot of stop motion movies being made these days and this one was good. Though instead of trying to do dazzling shots like they did in "Nightmare Before Christmas", this movie takes a simpler route using only basic camera moves for the most part and a somewhat limited motion on the characters themselves. This actually works quite well in conjunction with the simple nature of the story itself and it all hangs together very well. The sets the characters are in are also very simple and creates a nice storybook type fantasy world. The soundtrack as well is quite simple, usually just a solo instrument to set the mood for the scene. Overall, I liked the art style very much.
The characters are all fun to watch and they're all quite likable. The voices are all excellent and blend together with the characters perfectly. The story itself is fairly simple with a lot of emphasis on humor and wit. The movie is both quirky and very enjoyable and the 90 minutes you're there goes by very quickly. I highly recommend this movie and I think most furry animation fans would like it, particularly those who like foxes.
