Synopsis

"Wait, what?! Spike Jonze is adapting Where the Wild Things Are with old school effects and puppets? That tears it! Get me the rights to a classic children's book, say that Roald Dahl one about a family of foxes. Then get George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray and Owen Wilson on the phone. And tell Noah Baumbach we need to get a script going. Oh, and find me the best stop-motion animators in town. We're not boned yet!"

Wes Anderson---USA/Great Britain---2009---87 mins.

The whimsical, deliberately artificial style of stop-motion animation might be the perfect fit for Wes Anderson. Freed from any necessity to reality, the format allows for his imaginative sets and his deadpan humor to shine through.

Despite being a fan of Wes Anderson's films, I wasn't really looking forward to seeing this movie, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The animation is really interesting, and the movie is quite visually appealing to me. The scenes were clever and cute. I'm not familiar with the Roald Dahl book this is based on, so I don't know how true it is to that story, but the story in the film is nice. One super nit-picky thing that annoyed me about the film was the fact that George Clooney (and Owen Wilson, for that matter) has such a distinctive voice that it was difficult for me to separate him from the character of Mr. Fox. That said, I think he did a great job with the character, playing him in a very delightful way.
