Rating: 7.3/10Genre: Animation
Overall value for time and money: 7.0/10
I finally overcame the obstacle in my mind and decided to give this movie a go. First off, the animation was a turn-off for me and even the dubbing felt off. Considering its from a Roald Dahl novel, and the high ratings from imdb, it shouldn't be too bad a movie.
During the first few minutes of the movie, I felt queasy and rather "fan gan" about it but decided to persevere... and it did pay off. The jokes were crude, witty and almost subtle. Reminded me of Spongebob squarepants, where the jokes are an oxy moron by themselves, rather "no-brainer", rather "witty". Even though Mr. Fox promised his wife to do away with his farm raiding days after being caught and being told that she was pregnant, he cannot keep to his promise 2 years later. Wanting a "better" life to massage his ego, he decided to challenge himself by moving to a tree house opposite the top 3 most vicious farmers with plans to raid their farms.
Every went smoothly until the farmers retaliated and were vent on destroying Mr. Fox. The rest of the animals had to suffer for his actions as they borrow underground but Mr. Fox has a fantastic plan... This animation is on par with The Spongebob Squarepants Movie and Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit, with much talk-about humor points in it, such as *spoilers ahead* bandit hats, the psychotic rat, and many cheesy lines. It was pretty cute the way the animals moved about and their actions really tickled me whole.
Not fantastic, but good enough for me.
