Film Information
Co-written by Baumbach and Wes Anderson, FANTASTIC MR. FOX includes an all-star cast (George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson), an infectious soundtrack, and a sublime blend of humor and pathos. Intertwining mature themes with youthful stop-motion delivery, the universe of the film presents the connection between playful entertainment and recurring adult tropes like self-discovery.
The Fantastic Mr. Fox, bored with his current life, plans a heist against the three local farmers. The farmers, tired of sharing their chickens with the sly fox, seek revenge against him and his family.
