Company: Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment
Item Reviewed: Fantastic Mr. Fox DVD
Item Given Away:Fantastic Mr. Fox DVD
Start Date: March 10
End Date: March 24
Academy Award-winning Hollywood heavyweights George Clooney (Up In The Air) and Meryl Streep (It’s Complicated) lend their voices to the hilarious, heartwarming and dazzling stop-motion animated adventure from visionary director Wes Anderson (The Royal Tenebaums) Fantastic Mr. Fox.
In the re-imagined classic family tale, Mr. and Mrs. Fox (Clooney and Streep) live a happy home life with their eccentric son Ash (Jason Schwartzman: The Darjeeling Limited) and visiting nephew Kristopherson. That is until Mr. Fox slips into his sneaky, old ways and plots the greatest heist the animal world has ever seen. When mean old farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean join forces to surround Mr. Fox and his family, they don’t realize they are not dealing with any old fox – it’s Fantastic Mr. Fox and he has a fantastic master plan to save the day!
Based on the beloved best-selling book by Roald Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Fantastic Mr. Fox is family fun at its finest. Anderson employs a colorful supporting cast to bring his eccentric characters to life including Bill Murray (Lost In Translation), Owen Wilson (Marley & Me) and Willem Dafoe (Spiderman triology). The DVD and Blu-ray Disc/DVD Combo Pack are packed with behind-the-scenes bonus features, including a special inside look at how stop-motion animation really works and much more.
My Thoughts
The Fantastic Mr. Fox is a great movie for family movie night. We recently had an unscheduled family movie night (the best kind because it is a bonus for me 
) and we popped some popcorn and cozied up on the couch for the show. This movie was a very creative one, full of fun and action and one that we really enjoyed. My husband loved the way it was filmed and my toddler loved the characters. The family dynamics were what was funny for me and I enjoyed the movie greatly. I was a bit surprised that it held my toddlers attention the whole movie, but it did and she loved it too. I never will tire of hearing her laughter and throughout this movie I did. I recommend it to everyone for family movie night!

This one is easy … my favorite childhood movie is The Wizard of OZ. When I look back at this movie I wonder if this movie became my favorite over time … because I remember being scared to death of Margaret Hamilton as the Wicked Witch and even more so when she played the part of Almira Gulch. The Wizard of Oz is my final answer!

The Wizard of Oz for me too… I remember it coming on t.v. annually (yeah, before VCR’s, before DVD’s) when it was advertised for weeks, months and you anticipated for the time when it was going to be on.

My favorite movie as a little girl was “The Wiz” with Michael Jackson. Don’t even know how I got to like it but my parents had to go have someone put it on a VHS tape for me since they always had to rent it out each week from the video store!!!
