Fantastic Mr. Fox Soundtrack

The Fantastic Mr Fox soundtrack. Wes Anderson loves quirk. Enigmatic characters with deadpan stares, talking and talking, and talking, and talking. With wry postmodern self-awareness. Steve Zissou. Jason Schwartzman in Rushmore. The Tenenbaums. Quirk up to the eyeballs. And…

Interview: Fantastic Mr. Fox Writer & Director Wes Anderson

A few weeks back I traveled to London, England and the small town of Buckinghamshire to be immersed in the world of Roald Dahl for Fantastic Mr. Fox. After touring the museum and his estate (more to come on that next week), I sat down for a very brief interview with Wes Anderson, the visionary director behind Fantastic Mr. Fox. My focus in this interview was on his creative process and development of the film, since Anderson was involved in writing the script (with Noah Baumbach) and directing the stop-motion animated film. I've been a fan of Anderson for a long time and it was a delight to chat with him. Enjoy the interview! Watch my interview with Fantastic Mr. Fox writer and director Wes Anderson: This was recorded inside the house where Roald Dahl lived in England which is also where Anderson and Baumbach wrote the script together. I've seen Fantastic ...

Fantastic Mr. Fox Has Universal Acclaim from Critics So Far!

Inspired by this amusing post on Awards Daily titled "How to Build a Sturdy Foxhole", I thought I'd point out that Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox, which hits limited theaters (in New York and Los Angeles) this weekend before expanding on Thanksgiving, is getting positive reviews. Over on Metacritic, Fantastic Mr. Fox currently has a score of 87, which earns it the "universal acclaim" tag. Ryan points out that 7 of the 9 reviews tracked have a score of 80 or above, which is pretty damn impressive. In comparison, Where the Wild Things Are only has a score of 71 on Metacritic, but it also has quite a few perfect 100 reviews, too. Yesterday it was officially confirmed that Fantastic Mr. Fox was one of 20 movies in the running for Best Animated Feature Film at the Oscars, which bumps up the nominees in that category to five instead of just ...

Quick update coming your way for The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Though the film still has got a few weeks left before hitting theaters, 20th Century Fox was sure to already release a collection of clips.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox Clips
The good people at TrailerAddict have posted a collection of clips for The Fantastic Mr. Fox. They all look great, but the only catch is that you might have seen most of the footage from the trailers. Is Fox afraid to show new footage or just not trying to give too much away. Eh, who knows, but check out one clip below and the rest here.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox Reviews Move In

The Fantastic Mr. Fox has grown on me - a lot. I first wasn't all that geeked on the project. But the more videos I saw the more and more I came on board. Now I'm excited to see it - in theaters.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox Reviewed
Since it took some convincing for me, I can't help but be curious to see what the first reviews have to say about what is being called the anti-CGI toon. Since CGI toons have typically been solid over the past half decade, I don't really know if that is a good description or a bad one. Take a gander below.
