The Fantastic Mr Fox

Currently, it feels like Hollywood movies that are based on novels are better than the other ones. There are action movies, suspense movies and all other types of movies that you can think of but movies based on literary work are truly amazing. Amongst many of these types of movies, The Fantastic Mr. Fox is going to be one of the best for sure.

The Fantastic Mr. Fox, which is dated to be released on the 6th of November, is based on an all time favorite Roald Dahl novel by the same name. The movie revolves around a fox named Mr. Fox (how convenient) who steals chickens , ducks and turkeys from three crooked farmers disliked by everyone – Bogies Boggis, Bunce and Bean — in order to feed his family.

Drama, Adventure and Comedy

If you are fan of animation movie, you are going to love this for sure. There is a great deal of drama, adventure and of course, comedy. Not only will you find a good story line but the choice of actors for voices is wonderful as well. George Clooney and Merlyn Streep have given their voices for the characters Mr and Mrs. Fox.

The story takes good turn when farmers endure many thefts and at last decide to kill Mr. Fox. To fulfill this task, they wait outside his foxhole to ambush him one night. However they only succeed in blowing off his tail. They then try to dig the foxes out, but they are no match for eight sets of paws. Then, they move to starving them out.

Along the way the fox family meets Badger and other digging animals that are also starving due to the farmers’ siege of the hillside. Mr Fox, feeling responsible for the whole affair, invites the other animals to a feast made from the loot and they all decide to make an underground town where they will be safe, while discreetly obtaining food from the farmers. That’s another great sequence to watch in the movie as there is some drama and emotions to grip your imagination.

Finally, Mr. Fox chances across the idea of digging under the farmhouses while the farmers wait outside in the rain to ambush Mr. Fox. With his keen sense of smell, and the farmers’ distinctive diets, Mr. Fox has no problem evading them. But, the entire sequence is another treat for all.

And they all live happily ever after…

After the entire thing, the end is as good as possible. Everything gets settled and the animals live happily ever after. But, the fact remains that this movie is going to rule the theaters for long.
