this movie has made my top list for the year! & seems to be one that i will watch over and over again when it comes out on dvd! roald dahl was the first writer to really incite my reading fever. i read matilda in third grade & fell in love. i still remember how exciting it was to hold that book, with it's red foil letters and clever illustrations. i went to see the wonder fantastic mr. fox the day before yesterday in the small town where my lovely grandparents went. i went by myself to a nice independent theatre and was one of only of 5 people in there. it was amazing! the movie is impressive stylistically and i loved how wes anderson really combined his film style with that of roald dahl's writing. it had all the things i love in a movie, spot on aesthetics, an incredible soundtrack, funny bits and emotional resonance. even the voices were chosen so perfectly. i really recommend this movie to everyone, i'll even be seeing it again soon!

A true classic ''garden tale'' i remember reading his books when i was a wee bit younger! i think the name Roald Dahl will always be a fond memory amongst children
and quite a few grown ups too!
I'm with you, this one was an A+ in my book. Amazing how Wes Anderson was able to do his classic witty dialogue and keep up his impeccable comic and poignant timing even with furry animals...
