This is the story of Mr. Fox (George Clooney) and his wild ways of hen heckling, turkey taking, and cider sipping, nocturnal, instinctive adventures. He has to put his wild days behind him and do what fathers do best: be responsible. He is too rebellious. He is too wild. He is going to try "just one more raid" on the three nastiest, meanest farmers that are Walter Boggis (Robin Hurlstone), Nathan Bunce (Hugo Guinness), and Franklin Bean (Sir Michael Gambon). It is a tale of crossing the line of family responsibilities and midnight adventure and the friendships and awakenings of this country life that is inhabited by Fantastic Mr. Fox and his friends.

| Village VoiceScott FoundasFor the reportedly painstaking labor it took to create, the film is a marvel to behold--with wonderful shifts in perspective, an intensely tactile design, and an intentional herky-jerkiness of motion that only enriches the make-believe atmosphere. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanWith its virtuoso tomfoolery, Fantastic Mr. Fox is like a homegrown Wallace and Gromit caper. To Wes Anderson: More, please! |
| Salon.comStephanie ZacharekAnderson has pulled off the most elusive of goals: He's made a nonchalant masterpiece, a movie that feels dog-eared and loved before it's even reached our hands. |
| SlateDana StevensYou don't want to watch this movie, you want to climb inside it and play. |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaWitty and wonderful, Fantastic Mr. Fox is the perfect Thanksgiving entertainment. |
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesThe result is an instant classic. The material allows Anderson to neutralize the most irritating aspects of his work (the precociousness, the sense of white-bread privilege) and maximize the most endearing (the comic timing, the dollhouse ordering of invented worlds). |
| National PostVanessa FarquharsonThe resulting aural authenticity makes for a nice contrast with the look of the actual figurines, which aren't realistic but have been beautifully crafted and posed throughout the picture. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaAdults will really appreciate oddball whole that Anderson serves up here. |
| Movies.comDave WhiteIt not only looks scruffishly beautiful, but it's hilariously off-balance, warm-hearted, perfectly composed and detailed (like every other Wes Anderson movie) and casually but meaningfully acted. |
| The Film YapNick RogersStop-motion animation filmed at half-speed, it's like a living pop-up book. Landscapes resemble carpet remnants and fire extinguishers plume what looks like cotton candy. Wes Anderson's team boundlessly, buoyantly fill each frame with fine flourishes. |
