Entertaining Anthropomorphic Satire
Review of" The Fantastic Mr Fox
Film directed by: Wes Anderson
Film released: 2009
Summarybut is it really satire?
Review
A mix of puppetry, stop-motion animation and cartoon, brought to life by voiceovers (many from well known 'stars') with decidedly human characteristics.
If it is satire the targets are never explicitly spelt out - the middle class, social (upward) mobility, industrial farming, the plight of the Palestinians????
The later Isle of Dogs is much better as it is more tightly focussed and avoids much of the excessively cute anthropomorphism of this one.
An enjoyable 90 mins for all that though.
