An urbane fox cannot resist returning to his farm raiding ways and then must help his community survive the farmers’ retaliation. (IMDb)
Every scene is a delectably detailed diorama, brought to life by endlessly creative animation, perfect voice acting, and marvelous music (a fun soundtrack plus tear-jerking classical crescendos-see Rat’s redemption), while a tight script (the wolf encounter is a real cherry on top) showcases remarkable characterization (see the angsty Ash), thoughtful drama (see Mr. and Mrs. Fox’s standoff), and a fascinating anthropomorphic vs. wild animal thematic thread alongside its heaps of quirky humour.
9.5/10 (Breathtaking)

As a whole, I wouldn’t consider myself a Wes Anderson fan, but this just might be my favorite of his works. I thoroughly enjoy this and the Grand Budapest Hotel. Great review, Joel!

I’d definitely recommend it, especially if you’re a fan of Anderson’s style. It’s worth a watch for the amazing stop-motion animation alone!
