I caught this last night and enjoyed it. I don't really have much to say about it, to be honest.

On a semi-related note, my girlfriend lived with a guy in England that turned out to be Roald Dahl's godson. Great Glass Elevator is dedicated to him.

It was ok. Better than a couple of his movies, worse than Life Aquatic.

the animation was neat, the plot followed a typical wes anderson film to a T, and it was pretty funny. the opossum gimmick was super lol

however, due to the way society is nowadays, almost half of the full theater walked out. this was a 2pm saturday showing with lots of kids present (including mine). when they started to "cuss" and smoke cigarettes people were starting to gasp. when they showed the "alcoholic cider" people started to leave, and when fox lost part of his anatomy, they just poured out

seriously for a movie marketed on children's tv channels, some of the subject matter is not what a typical "modern" parent wants to have to answer questions on the way home, so i can kinda see why in today's pussified polictically correct culture people were leaving.

now i dont feel this way, just an observation. anyways, my kids kinda liked it, but adults will probably like it more...

worth at least a rental especially if you are into subplots with the im a quirky person who always has to live life with unaccepting people,hey look im different my bandit mask is a sock, but in the end my quirkiness gives me power and i can accept myself because my scenes are "framed against a wall" (tnl quote), and always recycle the same actors with stylized color and lots of trains for wes anderson to animate , now i have a real bandit mask type of film

I saw it once in a full theater in Denver, CO, and once in a rather full theater in Charlotte, NC, both theaters had a lot of children. Neither theater had anyone walk out. Spider Man, GI Joe, Transformers, and Iron Man were all heavily marketed to children and they were all much more offensive than anything in Mr. Fox. Y'all shore do live in a churchy town, D_N_G.
