Based on Roald Dahl’s children’s novel, “Fantastic Mr. Fox” is a 2009
stop-motion film directed by Wes Anderson.
The film is highly visual and features a great level of detail. Compared
to modern animation, stop-motion adds an artistic element. There is a nuanced
quality, where things are not quite perfect, but that’s what separates it from
other animated films.
Mature themes are incorporated into the story arc and this makes the
film enjoyable for adults and kids alike.
The film was nominated for numerous awards, including two Oscars and a
Golden Globe.
The Movie Club will be screening “Fantastic Mr Fox” on Wednesday 10
January 6pm sharp at Narellan Library. Tea, coffee and biscuits provided, BYO
snacks are more than welcome. Stay after the screening for a short discussion
about the film. See the discussion questions to get some ideas.
