FANTASTIC MR FOX MOVIE REVIEW.

The movie fantastic Mr Fox was written by a British author Roald Dahl and was published 1970. In 2009, it was adapted as a movie by Wes Anderson. The movie took place in the Valley, near three big farms. There was a fanciful fox named Mr Fox, who lives with his wife and four children underground beside a tree. He steals food each night from the three mean and wealthy farmers to feed his family. The farmers are: Boggis, who was a chicken farmer, and enormously fat. Bunce who was a ducks and goose farmer, and pot-bellied dwarf. Bean, who was a turkey and apples farmer, and he was thin as a pencil. So the farmers decided that the thieving fox must die therefore they came up with a plan to hunt down and kill him. Unfortunately they didn’t get him but instead shoot his tail.

The movie contain the same characters and uses some of the lines in the book, but the movie is not an effective adaptation of the book. Mr Fox steals from the farmers to feed and support his wife and four children in the book though in the movie Mr Fox is the changed thief who writes for the local paper and his wife is opposed to his thieving thing. In the book Mr Fox is the father of four children, and in the movie he is a father of one. There’s a character named Kristofferson who plays a major role in the movie but not mentioned even once in the book. In the book there was great feast dinner after Mr Fox, Badger and the smallest fox came from the tunnel of the three farmers to steal but in the movie before the feast start they were blustered by cider. In the book, it end with the big feast for the Fox and his underground friends while the three horrid crooks are waiting for fox out, conversely in the movie the animals decided to fight back and burn the entire town with fire.

My favourite part in the movie is when Mr Fox brings back the food for his family and underground friends this shows that animals are friendly and caring to each other. I would recommend this movie to all animal lovers’ people except for young children. From my point of view I don’t think the book is suitable for young children because there is a lot of violence and crime, since children learn through observing this is not the good movie to be exposed to, they will grow up thinking stealing to provide for your family is good.
