Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) is Wes Anderson's stop-motion comedy, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Mr. Fox swore off stealing chickens for a quiet burrow and a steady job. Then boredom creeps in, and one night he goes back to thieving.
His targets are the three meanest farmers around: Boggis, Bunce and Bean. The raids half work, and the furious farmers dig in for an all-out war on the foxes. Caught in the crossfire are Fox's wife, his odd son Ash, and a whole underground of woodland neighbours. The voice cast brings together George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray.
Anderson built every frame by hand from Roald Dahl's children's book, keeping his deadpan wit and obsessive symmetry intact. Autumn light, russet fur, tiny corduroy suits — it rewards a freeze-frame. Stream Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009) online on iFILM.
