An adaptation of Roald Dahl’s classic children’s tale, “The Fantastic Mr. Fox,” is coming to the big screen Nov. 25, 2009.
It’s a stop-motion film directed by Wes Anderson, and his first foray into animation. His other films have ventured towards the indie-quirky type, like “The Darjeeling Limited” and “The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou,” so it will be interesting to see what he does with a children’s story.
The plot centers on a clever fox (voiced by George Clooney) who must outwit three mean, dimwitted farmers who try to hurt him and his family. Ok, having grown up on a farm, I don’t get this at all, since the fox eat mice and are the farmer’s best friend. But whatever.
