Hi everyone! This is the first post of my blog! Yippee! First I'd like to do one of my favorites. Fantastic Mr. Fox! This... movie... is... EPIC! The director, formally known as Wes Anderson, but I find that name hard to say, so let's just call him Bob, had never once directed a kids movie. Well, Bob did it using a story from the author of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda, and, duh, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Roald Dahl. And not only has Bob done it, he's conquered it. Fantastic Mr. Fox uses a mix of old stop motion animation, using only 12 frames per second, with bright colors and a clever plot. It has captured my attention along with hundreds of thousands of millions of others. It has my humble gratitude. Let us bow and worship what has been bestowed upon us by one who can only be described as an angel. Thank you Bob. We will never forget your noble deed.

Hi Simon- I am friends with your parents. ( my husband was the singer in Stretch Armstrong) Any way, I have been debating wether or not to rent this movie, but after your great review I am excited to watch it this weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Simon, I'm a friend of your mom's. First of all, I love the name of your blog! Secondly, this is one of my family's favorite movies. My kids are only 5 and 7 but they love it! My daughter's favorite line is..."If what I think is happening is happening...it had better not be." When you are a bit older I have no doubt that you will enjoy Wes Anderson's other equally quirky and brilliant films. My personal fave is "The Royal Tennenbaums." Thanks for the review and I look forward to others. -Rhonda Gum
