The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Details about Wes Anderson's The Fantastic Mr. Fox have been scarce until a trailer recently surfaced showcasing a lot of impressive stop motion animation and design in the film. The animals and set pieces look wonderful and the cast a pretty classic line up of great actors. The approach to the material seems classy and sober without pandering to a particular kind of audience. I think this is highlighted by a lot of the deadpan humor in the trailer. Count me in. Should be a rewarding experience to sit through.

When you have great children's books being picked up by guys like Spike Jonze and Wes Anderson you are in a special time and place.
