Trailer Watch: Fantastic Mr. Fox

In the name of everything that is sacred watch this trailer here!

Once again my love for Wes Anderson has been renewed! 

When you start to watch this trailer, it’s difficult to not have a raised eyebrow and a voice in your head asking, “What in holy hell is happening?”

The animation style is disjointed stop animation. Even gems like Nightmare Before Christmas, Corpse Bride, and Coraline looked pretty fluid despite the style. However, it doesn’t look disjointed because they don’t know how to do it right, it looks this way on purpose and it apart of the style of the film. I think it’s kind of brilliant!

The Royal Tenenbaums is one of my favorite movies of all time and since then Wes Anderson has failed to recapture my heart. However, Fantastic Mr. Fox has grabbed my attention in a very serious way. 

This film looks absolutely endearing and hilarious. While at first it’s extremely off putting I think this is mere brilliance at work! I’m stoked!

In limited theaters November 25th

    I just dont know what to think about this. Wes Anderson has gone way down in my book of great directors as of late and this doesnt seem to spark anything exciting. It reminds me of an old Gumby cartoon. I know it is supposed to but I am not sold.

    I find the animation style to be extremely refreshing. It’s a nice change from all of the overly done computer generated, motion capture junk that everyone seems to be jumping on these days.

    I agree with THE MAGGIE. The art direction is something new and well deserved. Its nice to have something new and to excite the imagination every once in a while.

    Sad to see that after the poor box office of Life Aquatic Disney booted him, then an even poorer box office for Darjeeling that he is stuck making an animated film. I love Wes so I’ll still see it…
