Review: Fantastic Mr Fox



As a Wes Anderson film its good. As a film a children's book its rubbish.

The marketing of it as a children's film is going to result in a lot of disappointed kids alongside parents who will probably be a peeved with the amount of cussing (literally) and cider being pushed as 'liquid gold' at various points during the film.

For adults however, there is plenty of the usual surreal humour you've come to expect from Anderson with frequently funny, yet completely bizarre moments throughout the film - including Jarvis Cocker popping up for a banjo interlude and a South African pilot that is probably the funniest moment in the film for its sheer randomness.
