Fantastic Mr. Fox is Wes Anderson's stop motion take, and a widely acclaimed one. I can only agree so much, as I'm not as charmed by their humor and not as impressed by their story.
The beginning is brilliant and I wished it would go on in the same style, but some short-cuts, some lame scenery below the surface and something I can only imagine is dark humor managed to get me checking out my watch more than once.
It's still probably the best animation of 2009 as I wasn't very impressed by Up either, but in the end I felt they could have taken some other choices and made this the classic it could have been. Or maybe it's just my sense of humor that really isn't worth much.
