The idiosyncratic stop-motion film lives from its innocent, great humor. This begins with the animals, which are humanized according to their animal qualities. The foxes are nimble and clever, while the opossum is lazy and disorganized. Director Wes Anderson (Asteroid City) has created these characters so profoundly designedthat we can hardly do anything other than accept them as human beings.

We get to know an idyllic place for family happiness, experience a exciting heist film and immerse yourself in a David versus Goliath story. In the end, Fantastic Mr. Fox is held together by the love between Mr. and Mrs. Fox, which also makes the film a wonderful love story.

The most beautiful thing is the landscape lovingly designed by Wes Anderson. Warm colors and many creative details make every stop motion heart beats faster. But also anyone who wants to be transported to a fascinating, distinctive, yes, unique world. This world seems like a fairy tale, but is very close to life.
Highly recommended: In the original dubbing, the animals are voiced by big Hollywood stars like George Clooney (Mr. Fox), Meryl Streep (Mrs. Fox), Jason Schwartzman (Ash Fox), Willem Dafoe (Rat) and Bill Murray (Clive Badger). But the German dubbing also impresses with its voices. You can get an impression of both language versions of the film for yourself at Disney+.
