'''''Fantastic Mr. Fox''''' is an animated family film centered upon the eponymous character's attempt to go straight, renouncing his chicken-stealing ways. It is filmed in stop motion as director [[Wes Anderson]]'s first foray into animation. Including an all star cast, it has reviewed well, containing Wes Anderson's indie mannerism and introspective tone, along with real charm and his trademark dysfunctional family.
 
Based on the story of the same name by [[Roald Dahl]], but greatly [[Adaptation Expansion|expands upon its premise]], focusing upon Mr. Fox's family's dynamic, and the town's attempt to outwit the farmers.
Line 32:
* [[Badass Boast]]: "Your tractors uprooted my tree. Your posse hunted my family. Your gunmen kidnapped my nephew. Your rat insulted my wife -- and you shot off my tail.(steely) I’m not leaving here without that necktie."
** Subverted almost immediately afterward when the farmer's workforce replies with a hail of bullets. "Okay, nevermind, let's get out of here."
* [[Barefoot Cartoon AnimalsAnimal]]s: Almost all of the animal characters.
** [[The One Who Wears Shoes]]: Kris, Coach Skip, and Beaver's son are the only animal characters in the entire movie to wear shoes.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Bean does not like the idea of giving up against a fox.
Line 193:
* [[Wholesome Crossdresser]]: Ash enjoys wearing a feminine wool sweater and a lacy cape.
* [[Wingding Eyes]]: Kylie's eyes will change to spirals when he zones out. When the dogs and {{spoiler|Boggis}} pass out (or something like it), their eyes turn into asterisks. The dead poultry and {{spoiler|Rat}} have X's for eyes.
* [[Written in-In Infirmity]]: [[Meryl Streep]] had a cold while recording, which is alluded to in the beginning when Mr. Fox asks how Felicity's visit to the doctor went.
* [[X-Ray Sparks]]: Kylie and Mr. Fox's skeletons show through when they climb the electric fence. {{spoiler|So does Rat's during his fight with Mr. Fox in the underground transformer room.}}
