Fantastic Mr. Fox

I was going to go to the library and borrow this book today to contrast it, but I probably shouldn't since I have to 'study.' BLEHHH

Anyways... I did an embarrassing thing and decided to try to record a video review for the Rotten Tomatoes Show, and I realized that it's a lot harder than it looks and that my speech teacher was ultimately right; I need more enthusiasm. And Jimmy Fallon was right; I need to up my volume (which I tried to do with the iMovie settings). But I uploaded it anyways, in case I get lucky. You never know, but please don't watch it.

Here's basically what I said, or what I meant to say but it came out differently on video:

Fantastic Mr. Fox is another Roald Dahl book to movie adaptation with a few changes.

Director Wes Anderson has churned another successful movie adaptation as well as another successful 'Wes Anderson' movie.

Even with the stop motion being a little strange at times, there is never a dull moment in this movie. Even with the still shots of the characters, you see the little movement of the hairs on their heads.

The attention to detail by Wes Anderson is very satisfying throughout the movie.

Some, if not all, of the voice recordings were done on set to get the real ambient noises of the fields and such.

Although, sometimes the humor is somewhat adult, it is still more age appropriate than Where the Wild Things are.

It is very lighthearted and funny and gratifying till the end.

George Clooney, Jason Schwartzman, and Michael Gambon stand out for me as the voice actors, even though I kept thinking of Dumbledore for the later. The deliveries of the lines are perfect.

Overall, Fantastic Mr. Fox doesn't take itself too seriously and is charming for both adults and children.

Side note: It has one of the best scenes I could imagine. Please watch it.
