Movie Night: Fantastic Mr Fox
The kids and I took the opportunity to have a "movie night" and decided that our feature film would be Fantastic Mr Fox (rated PG). The voice talents of George Clooney and Meryl Streep enticed me. The fact that it was animated had the kids hook, line, and sinker. Based on the beloved best-selling book by Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Fantastic Mr. Fox is all around entertainment for the entire family! Bill Murray (Lost In Translation), Owen Wilson (Marley & Me) and Willem Dafoe (Spiderman triology) also voice some pretty hilarious characters in this film.
It had a sort of Ocean's Eleven feel to it for me. Maybe it was the spectacularly sexy Clooney voice that did it. I also think that some of the story line, such as the different plots for the greatest heist the animal world has ever seen. The dialogue in this movie was witty and the characters were laughable and eccentric, especially the mole and the rat!
If you're looking for a DVD to watch with the entire family, we think you should give this one a try. We liked it!
