Fantastic Mr. Fox

8/10

Yeah, I know everyone says this movie is Fantastic, like the fox, but I just can't give it top scores. I mean, it was pretty great, hence the eight, but those little foxes freaked me out!

The animation was amazing--there's no denying that. It was amazing how those characters moved & were clothed. This film must have taken years to complete. The characters were lively & I absolutely LOVED the diverse range of voices used in the film. The sets for the little furry guys were also intricate with details, making the movie an entertaining flick.

The story, although adapted from a children's book, was not meant for children. I'm not saying the content was inappropriate, but it was hard for ME to follow & keep up, I wonder how the kids are doing! Everything got so complicated in the middle, but I guess children have a better attention span then we adults have, right?

I think my favorite part of the movie though, (yeah, of course the part aimed at the adults instead of the kids) was the use of the word "cuss". "Cuss" seemed to replace every imaginable dirty word an adult uses, & it was a hilarious antidote of the film.

Two things I didn't like:
1. those little rodents were creepy! If I were a child, well I still might, I would have nightmares! The way they eat was scarring! (Yeah, I know it is supposed to be realistic, but I was freaked out, man!)
2. The times when they suddenly break out in terrible country tunes. Cut them out!

Over all, good movie for the kids to watch & the parents remain entertained as well.
