Wes Anderson is well-known for his stylistic approach to filmmaking, which has given the director a cult-following of hip movie buffs. However, though he puts his stamp on "The Fantastic Mr. Fox," the film is likely to appeal to a broader audience than his previous work. The movie, which is based on the Roald Dahl novel of the same name, tells the story of the title character and his friends and family as they take on the three evil farmers - Boggis, Bunce and Bean - who are after Mr. Fox for stealing their goods. The film is beautifully told in stop-action animation. George Clooney voices the role of Mr. Fox, and Meryl Streep lends her talents to Mrs. Fox. Other Anderson alums who make a (vocal) appearance in the film include Jason Schwartzman as Ash Fox, Bill Murray as Clive Badger and Owen Wilson as Coach Skip. Fans of Anderson's other films, such as "Rushmore" or "The Royal Tenenbaums" are sure to appreciate the subtle humor of "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" and those who enjoyed other adaptations of Dahl's work, like "Matilda" or "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" are also in for a treat.
