The Art of Animation: Storytelling in the Digital AgeDescription:
Wes Anderson’s vibrant adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s novel about a fox clan and other animal friends eluding human predators is a meticulous work of stop-motion animation. Anderson transforms the original text into a tale of odd family dynamics. “Watching Fantastic Mr. Fox is sheer delight for the close attention to every aspect of the look and feel, from those lightning-lit paintings of Mrs. Fox’s to the way the foxes’ fur rises in a draft of wind . . . [the filmmakers] created a look for this film that is perfectly unique” (Erica Wagner, Current).
