Director: Wes Anderson
Cast: (Voices) George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson
Roald Dahl’s wonderful children’s story is brought to authentic life in this animated version of a well-loved story.
Dahl was never afraid to lace his stories for younger readers with dark and menacing images and while books don’t always translate to screen with ease Anderson does succeed with his take.
The story centres around a group of dodgy chicken farmers who band together to get the sly Mr Fox and his forest friends … all voiced by a terrific cast (Clooney is the fox, Streep his wife).
Star Rating: 4/5
