Fantastic Mr. Fox


I loved this movie. The story is well told. The music is upbeat, hilarious, and perfect for the mood and tone of the movie. The script is well paced and delivers it's punch with levity. Humans do not live in harmony with all God's creatures. And occasionally we are crazy. I loved George Clooney as Mr. Fox. He has the right mix of resigned comic and hopeless optimist for the role. He wins my respect more with each role he does. Bravo.
The story is one of sympathy with wild animals in general and foxes in particular. The British have a history of maladaptive relationships with fox, and in this one at least, man comes off looking bad, and the fox outfoxes the humans.
