Fantastic Mr Fox
Fantastic Mr Fox
Meryl Streep voices the role of Mrs. Fox in this quirky stop-motion animated feature film based on the book by Roald Dahl, adapted for the screen by director Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenenbaums, The Darjeeling Limited) and co-screenwriter Noah Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale).

Witty, urbane, silky smooth Mr. Fox (George Clooney) has done his level best to subdue his, well, animal instincts, but not even Mrs. Fox's diligent and tender affections can rein in all his impulses.

When an ill-advised night-time raid elicits a disproportionate response from 'the three meanest and nastiest farmers' in the district, country life for Mr. Fox, his family and friends may never be the same again.

"With George Clooney and Meryl Streep voicing the Foxes, this adaptation of the Roald Dahl tale provides a pleasantly cerebral experience, exhilarating and fizzy, that goes to your head like too much Champagne." Los Angeles Times
