"Fantastic Mr. Fox" Talkback (Spoilers)

[Pheonix B]

And yet while AB had been getting so much praise, I didn't care for it that much. It was empty and not worth my time.

Fantastic Mr. Fox was pretty funny but that was because I saw it in a packed house during an advance screening for the film.

I went in expecting little, and I walked out wishing that I had been the one to have paid for my movie ticket, not to have had it gifted to me for my birthday. I really enjoyed it, start to finish, and while it's a very loose adaptation, it's a great animated film.

While the jerky, clearly hand-made stop-motion animation was distracting at first, it was a very enjoyable film, without being too dark or too saccharine.

However, I didn't care for that Kylie character. He didn't contribute much to the story other than being someone that Mr. Fox could talk to. Also, it's too bad that Kristopherson(?) didn't get much screen time, because he turned out to be a likeable character (IMHO).

Rating: A-

I kinda wish Agnes had more of a character, since her puppet was simply adorable.

Oh yeah, I forgot about her. I think she could've had some more character development in the movie other than just being in the background most of the time.

Could be worse it look at how movies directed by Henry Selick are marketed. "By the director of A Nightmare before Christmas." The only way to sell Selick's movies is for people to mistake him for Tim Burton.

Hope he never directs a movie based on Roald Dahl as then then the ads would be a huge mess.

Well...

Didn't cause much of a problem in '96.

I was just joking that Henry Selick did direct a movie based on a Roald Dahl book, and has you can see, no one got any real billing on the poster.
