Movie review: fantastic Mr Fox.

 Fantastic Mr. Fox, is an animated movie and the pictures are of the oldest animation styles (stop motion). In the movie the animals are not smaller than the humans is it is in most cases, the fox and the rats walk on two legs like humans(people) in the movie and in real life the walk with four likes. The animals in the movie have a great sense of humour than the people in the movie.  The cameras that are used in the movie are sliding back and forward than moving in and out. The effect is sometimes like an old-fashioned slide projector. The landscapes and structures of this world are those of a picture-book, even the background of the movie proves that the movie its structure and landscapes are of a picture-book. Mr Fox is a very clever and tricky fox who stole from the farmers Boggis, Bunce and Bean who owned farms around where Mr Fox and his family live, Mr Fox used to steal from these farmers to provide for his family until the three farmers noticed that the fox has been steeling food from their farms and they wanted to make the fox pay, by coming with a plan to kill him.
There were a lot of comparisons between the movie and book. For instance, the story line is mostly the same, in that Mr. Fox steals food from the three farmers and they spend the whole time trying to catch him. There were certainly smaller detailed differences I think than comparisons.
To start, Mr. & Mrs. Fox start off the movie by chasing the food together, where as in the book, it was just Mr. Fox.  Second, in the book Mrs. Fox already had four foxes when in the movie she hadn't even been pregnant with one yet.  Another big difference is after they make themselves get caught, Mr. Fox promises to give up the lifestyle of stealing for their safety and becomes a newspaper writer for the local paper The Gazette.  They have one, miserable fox who pretty much hates the world and just wants to make his dad proud.  They refer to Ash as "just different".  They needed a new home because their family was expanding, however, Mr. Fox didn't have a lot of money in the movie, so he asked his lawyer friend, Badger, so buy them a house in a tree on a hill. Mr. Fox becomes friends with the landlord, Kylie the possum, and eventually he becomes his sidekick. There are also a lot of scenes in the movie than there are in the book.  The movie took a big turn when the animals decided to fight back and set the town on fire. By the end of the movie, I was still curious on how Mr. Fox and the animals would get out because it seemed they were put in situations that they would never get out of.
I really enjoyed the movie, when I watched the movie at first I thought it was boring and old fashion with its camera style and the picture itself, but when time when by I loved the movie completely even the with the camera style and the story book picture. My favourite part of the movie is when the foxes work together to dick for their life’s, this part of the movie showed me that at some point we have to work together and work hard for the ones we love. I personally think everyone should watch the movie because it can be a good movie for the little children in foundation phase to teacher them about the important of family and for old people it will show that people need to stick together no matter what because “together we stand divided we fall”, those thing are should in the movie when the wild animals stacked together even when they were about to die because of Mr fox but they never gave up on him so people can learn a lot from the wild animals about loyalty and love.
