The trailer for Fantastic Mr. Fox has just been released. I was quite surprised at what I saw. It’s the first animated film from director Wes Anderson and he’s clearly going for a very retro feel with this.
The movie seems to stray a little from the original Roald Dahl book but I’m optimistic and hopeful he does his best, with such a great cast and a quirky design I’m sure it’ll be great, but after the excellent Coraline, our expectations are that much higher.
I’d love to be have been a fly on the wall in the production meeting before they started this film…”Stop motion! Miniature sets! Fur!”
